That one got a little inside. I saw the guy (Whitner) and I tried to put the ball outside, so if it was anywhere it was going to go wide. It kind of got inside on me. I knew as soon as I let go there was a chance it was going to be picked.

In past openers, it seemed like they didn't do a whole lot, but they threw a lot at us. I don't know exactly what they were bringing, but they brought a lot.

I remember cheering guys like Eddie George, (Andy) Katzenmoyer and Joe Germaine, ... I remember the excitement, how many people there were and how loud it got.

When I was growing up, our whole family used to get together at Christmas, but we hadn't done that for some 30 years, ... Some of us got together in North Carolina last year, but this is the first time everyone's come up here. Everybody wants to see the game.

It's just frustrating. We moved the ball well and we scored a lot of points, but there were just some things that we should have done better than we did.

I had sort of a stinger, but it didn't affect my second-half throws. It was tough because we didn't move the ball as well as we would have liked. We could have done much better, but we didn't execute, and that's what's most frustrating.
