Them being freshmen and never having played in those environments, I'm really proud of those guys. The guys who start the game have a lot more confidence when [the freshmen] are called upon.

This was very important. From now on, every game has to be played like it's a championship. Every game. ... It feels good to get back on the winning track.

I don't think anybody had to tell Al what to do. Al took it on himself. He played like a warrior. I'm really proud of him.

He has been working hard. During the off week, he went to the coaches for individual instruction. I'm really proud of him. He's not giving up. We definitely needed him today.

If we worried about as many things as you guys do, our heads would explode. We're just out there playing hard, playing with an edge, and having fun. It's been like that all year.

I'm so very, very proud of our guys ... they came in here and played their tails off in a hostile environment. They just fought and hung in there when things got tough. We didn't panic, and we were able to escape out of here with a victory.
