I think we're still better than the way we played.

I don't think our young defensive linemen played very well, or as well as they can. That was the most disappointing part of our defense.

When we did protect him, we didn't convert our opportunities.

It kind of just typifies our whole year, having to scratch and claw through it all. It's not always easy. We were playing the number five or six team in the country and we knew it was going to be tough, so I'm proud of the way our guys did compete.

It's better than it was (Sunday), ... He's improved. We'll probably take the boot off tomorrow and be ready to go on Wednesday.

That surprised me, ... I thought they both would have reacted better and played better. There were some opportunities there, but we just couldn't quite get it right.
