If we were going to fold our tents, that was a time to do it, but we didn't. We stepped up when our backs were against the wall. Our defense did a good job of keeping them out of the end zone.

They do a lot offensively, and they give you a ton of stuff to prepare for because they throw and run it pretty well. On defense, they stunt their linebackers and picking up those stunts is going to be a big key for us. I'm sure we will see 9-10 people at the line of scrimmage.

This is an honor for coach Phillips. His selection is well-deserved. Coach Phillips does a good job for our basketball program. He always has his team prepared and ready to play.

When Tony snagged that ball, it was a relief and a good feeling for our team. I thought our special teams play was pivotal in our win.

Those punt return yards were big for us because they kept us out of bad field positions. That yardage was like a couple of extra first downs and boosted our offense.

We did not play with any real emotion on defense tonight. Offensively, our line play was very good, but the two fumbles cost us.
