This was another learning experience for us. We are not going to blow every team out. There will be close games and we have to learn from them so when we are in close games again, we will know what to do.

It's all a learning experience down here, and this will give us an idea of what the real playoffs are going to be like. I think if we can adjust down here, we can adjust anywhere.

Monmouth is a really good team, and we better be prepared for them. They will come in here hungry because we beat them at their place. We need to play hard against them the entire game. We can't let them win at our home.

I was kind of skeptical at first. But Chris explained it would be a learning experience for all of us.

This is a young group. It's a good learning experience for us.

This was a good learning experience for us. This game was a carbon copy of the Gulf game (a 62-28 loss for NCT). It was a more athletic team that got us into a tempo we didn't want to get into. We don't normally get to see a team like this and we can't simulate this in practice and until you get use to seeing that on a regular basis, it's hard to get use to dealing with it.
