Our defense wasn't there. Theirs was better. They are a good team.

It takes a lot of the pressure off. No excuses. This is what we've been working for the whole season. It will be a big disappointment if we come up short.

We came out and we were really nervous. We've never been this far, so we didn't know what to expect.

They just owned us with their defense. They smothered us with their defensive pressure.

We knew their defense was going to cause us to play faster than we're used to. A lot of times that leads to poor execution and turnovers. We had a good week of practice preparing for this weekend and one of the things this weekend was being able to execute offensively at a higher pace, and we were able to do that.
