I've played a couple of big guys. I've stopped both of them. We need to play good man defense and keep the ball out of his (Wright's hands) if we are going to win.

We played all-right defense. On offense, they didn't stop us, we stopped ourselves. Of the 31 shots we missed, I bet we missed 20 that were 2-feet or 1-foot.

We couldn't contain Dean. A couple of times we played very good defense on him, and he made really hard shots.

We always want to play great defense and we've looked pretty good so far.

Our defense is playing real good right now. The punt return team gave up the touchdown. The defense played real well against Troy. They had two big plays for their touchdowns. Other than that, we didn't give up much. I feel a lot better our defense than I did this time last year.

We stepped up our defense and stopped fouling. We've been a little sluggish, but we played a lot better. The second half of this game prepares us real well. It prepares us for close situations.
