That surprised me, ... I thought they both would have reacted better and played better. There were some opportunities there, but we just couldn't quite get it right.

I thought Northern Arizona played a feisty game all night. They gave us some problems doing some things.

When we did protect him, we didn't convert our opportunities.

It kind of just typifies our whole year, having to scratch and claw through it all. It's not always easy. We were playing the number five or six team in the country and we knew it was going to be tough, so I'm proud of the way our guys did compete.

It's better than it was (Sunday), ... He's improved. We'll probably take the boot off tomorrow and be ready to go on Wednesday.

He's got another year after this one to contribute and play. He's an excellent athlete who works hard. We just want to give him more opportunities to get on the field. I think he will give us more production.
