I just don't know what happened to us. We have to work on our defense. We were clicking in practice so I don't know what it is and why we played like we did against Douglas.

We practice against a great defense every day. It's just very disappointing that we couldn't get in the end zone.

This team has always given us problems. I hope by the end of the season we can get better and surprise them. We made it to the playoffs, and were 7-6 last year, but we had a good season.

It's not like us. We haven't done that in practice, so I guess you've got to credit their defense ? their speed, their ability to strip you.

The defense is the heart of our team. The defense has carried us in practice. When things aren't going well, they're the ones who pick us up.

It was a hot-tempered day by the defense. Real hot-tempered.
