He basically turned the defense around. It was like night and day for us.

Our defense kept us in the game, because offensively we struggled most of the night.

The defense really saved the night for us. You're not going to be able to say enough about the way the defense played.

Our defense kept us in the ballgame all night long. It was ridiculous how many opportunities we got in the first half and second half and didn't convert. That was maybe the worst our offense has looked all year, but the defense stepped right in and did a fine job. Our defense got burnt for 53 points and about 400 yards against U.M.S. and every week since then they've gotten better and have improved. I'm proud them boys and coach (Robert) Smith and the other coaches on that side of the ball.

They switched up their defense a little in the second half. [The turnovers] were what haunted us all night. We just never got into the flow of our offense.

I think it was our defense that was the key for us tonight. We pressed all night and were able to create a lot of turnovers.
