I remember cheering guys like Eddie George, (Andy) Katzenmoyer and Joe Germaine, ... I remember the excitement, how many people there were and how loud it got.

Once all the excitement got out of their system, they crashed pretty hard. I was finally able to get some sleep.

In past openers, it seemed like they didn't do a whole lot, but they threw a lot at us. I don't know exactly what they were bringing, but they brought a lot.

When I was growing up, our whole family used to get together at Christmas, but we hadn't done that for some 30 years, ... Some of us got together in North Carolina last year, but this is the first time everyone's come up here. Everybody wants to see the game.

That one got a little inside. I saw the guy (Whitner) and I tried to put the ball outside, so if it was anywhere it was going to go wide. It kind of got inside on me. I knew as soon as I let go there was a chance it was going to be picked.

It's just frustrating. We moved the ball well and we scored a lot of points, but there were just some things that we should have done better than we did.
