This whole team through the entire season has been nothing but a cohesive unit. It's easy to say that when you're winning like we were in the first half. But I think the true colors show when you're scuffling a little bit. Everybody stuck together same as we did when we were winning.

Through all of the choke talk and everything else that was said, this team really stuck together when the chips were down and we weren't playing as well together as we knew we could. Everybody stuck together and nobody paid attention to that and we were all a unit, and it paid off in the end.

They're a pretty cohesive unit. They were a little bit more individual last year in their play, but their team chemistry is really good now.

Anytime you're in a funk as a team, everyone wants to do something to get yourself out of it.

Of course. Anytime you're in a funk as a team, you want to do something to get yourself out of it. Sometimes that means trying too hard. We have to roll with the punches and look forward to [Saturday's game].

We can see the light at the end of the tunnel. We just need to keep battling. We're a team that has stuck together through the good times and the bad times. Our reward is near.
