It was a tough call. I don't know how you can make a call like that. That's not in my hands. The only thing I could do is go out there and play my best.

That's a tough call to make, especially on a critical call like that.

I'll tell you what, that was big. It gave them a bigger gap and when you play a team with an offense like that, you can't really give them a lot of points and expect to win.

Growing up, I think the competition at a young age with the programs here, I was able to compete with a lot of great players at a young age, and I think that carried on to middle school and high school and I think that carried on to college. Those same things, the high competition at a high level, is still in me.

We're not going to sneak up on them like I think we did the last time. I think they kind of took us for granted, but this time we know we've got our hands full.

We can't move forward if we keep on looking in the past. Last year was last year, and it was a great year, but it's gone.
