We knew they were coming. We just didn't make plays. |
We left it all out there, ... We came into a tough environment against an excellent team and gave ourselves a chance to win. |
We lost four starters from last year's team so it is kind of a new team for us. |
We lost some great leaders up and down the roster. I think a lot of guys that have come in need to take on leadership roles, especially the veterans. |
We made some progress in the last few weeks and I think we played more to our style. This would be a great week to have our best game of the year and we're going to need it because we're playing a very, very tough team who obviously isn't intimidated by going on the road. |
We played better than the team we played against. But it's a long season and it's good we didn't really peak tonight. There was a lot of bad playing tonight. |
We played hard. We just came up short. |
We played them a bunch of times over the last few years so, in that sense, you just know the players and you know the scheme. But the details of everything, (we're) probably not too up on them at this point. We'll see if we need to be in a few days. |
We pride ourselves on playing smart and playing physical, I just think the execution wasn't there. When we were down 28-3, we started to figure it out a little bit. |
We put a lot into this one, |
We put a lot into this one, we put a lot into every one but it seems like it's been up and down and up and down, ... I think we just want to play more consistently as a team. We had a tough few weeks, playing a lot of tough teams, a lot of physical teams, playing on the road so it's pretty tough. |
We put a lot into this one. We've had doubters for a long time. We're just going to keep coming out and doing the hard things every week. |
We really didn't want to go to that fifth set because we did that twice last year and lost them both. We played hard but a good team like that doesn't go down without a fight, |
We really needed that, |
We wanted to get off to a good start, ... The third quarter we just couldn't convert any third downs. As an offense we really need to get better, but a win's a win and we'll take it. |
