It was just a heat of the moment thing, two coaches getting caught up in the intensity of the game. We talked outside the locker room afterward.

We were upset about the game. Bad game. Heat of the moment. You never want to lose like that. I was upset for the seniors that had to leave like that. We're tight.

That intensity to win transfers to his coaches and players. I don't think that has ever wavered at all.

You have got to take into account the intensity of the game. We get a feel after the game, the physical toll it has taken on the players. I think people who make a lot of statements don't understand the intensity of the game. Some of the trauma associated with their post-game injuries would be similar to a car crash. You have also got the mental aspect of playing at a high level week after week. It is a totally different environment that we are talking about.

Sometimes coaches can be so uptight that they bring down the game,

It was a good game, but I'd say we could have played better. We've got good coaches and a good line. I'm pretty sure we could have stepped up on defense and played better.
