They give up very few big plays. They're very good at keeping the ball in front of their good tacklers.

We have to make big plays defensively and get [the ball] back to our offence.

We had guys open, we just didn't get the ball to them accurately. We might have had some big plays earlier in the game and there's the tendency to get discouraged. I didn't want Mike to get discouraged ... he'll be alright.

It was good to see Pac on the field. It looked to me he made some plays. I don't know about the [penalty]. It was a very athletic play to get his hand on the ball. I think the assumption was that he went through the receiver.

Those three visited Central, Western or Toledo, and they chose Eastern.

He's very difficult to bring down. The first guy's probably not going to get him down. We're going to have to get a lot of green shirts near him.
