This was no fluke win. This was a good team that gave us a tough time. Here's what we learned: you don't get anywhere beating up on nobodies. I'm glad we played them. I'd rather be the king of kings than the king of nobodies.

That's because this really wasn't good enough. We've got a high standard here. They scored on us in both halves. We don't want to give up anything ? no points, no yards, we'd like to see negative yards. Until we do that, we're only average.

They put us in a whole bunch of tough spots. We had to react both physically and mentally. We had to somehow stop them when it mattered the most.

It puts us on par with much larger communities. It moves us to a different level.

It's a great challenge for us. We need to be able to exploit their weaknesses, if they do have them.

I'm just having a great time. I don't have to look over my shoulder after every missed shot.
