Our defense changed the emotion. That in turn enabled us to get quite a few transition points. Marea was all over the boards.

They played their butts off today. Nobody expected us to play this team that tight. I couldn't be more proud.

Both the US Defense Department (Army Corps of Engineers) and the State Department have roles in reconstruction, however, the Iraq Project and Contracting Office (PCO) manages most of the pledged $18 billion.

There is more emotion playing defense, ... If you make
a mistake but are going hard, you can still be in the play. On offense,
there is more structure every down. On defense, you can play more on
instinct and athleticism.

We were geared up. We played with a lot of emotion and energy, and our defense was outstanding. Once we saw we could get a game from them, we just grew more and more confident as the night went on. Playing against a top conference opponent inspired us, and this game showed to me that we can be a force in the conference this year.

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