The first year is the hardest. Everyone is learning the defense. The goal is to get them to play fast.

We had some solid defense in the back. Our defense is learning to play as a group.

(In the fourth quarter), we put some people in who wanted to play. We got back to playing defense and moving the ball and going down low ... We have to do stuff like that. We have to play people that are going to produce.

As you can see, it's starting to rub off on other players. The whole defense is starting to play with some enthusiasm. We'll come to the line, talk a little smack.

Defense was the difference in the game. We did a good job on the perimeter and we never let them get the ball inside.

We played real good defense.
