It was tough sitting out the 10 games; I just tried to work hard in practice and make the other players get better because I knew I wasn't going to be able to do anything out there.

We heard about that all week before we came up here. So in practice, all we did was work hard on conditioning to make sure that we could prove to people that they run, but we run better.

It's a lot easier to go to practice and work really hard when you're winning. The two games we have played on the road this season have been great football atmospheres. The guys have been fired up to play. There are a lot of fans talking and screaming at us.

It was tough losing games we should have won, based on execution and rebounding. It was the small things that good teams should do.

This is a pretty disappointing loss. We played a bad first half and we came out the second half and battled back. There at the end we just gave it up.

We had data of a year ago, spring practice, the preseason practice and the first two games ... now we have to make a decision. I've never pretended that every decision I make is right ... I've been reminded of that.
