We have to be able to play with them. In big games, you've got to be able to answer their big plays.

It's hard to play catch-up against a good team. We had some breakdowns in all three facets of the game (offense, defense and special teams). It's hard to pinpoint just one thing.

I don't think we are a team we'd want to play because we've competed against everybody. Again, that's eight games ahead of us; it's hard to say what will take place from here.

(Ben Davis) got after it defensively.

Kyle's a big, physical kid who not only has great hands, but outstanding strength which helped him to be a terrific blocker. I'm excited for him because I think Buffalo will be a good fit for him. He not only has the chance to compete in a great conference (Mid-American), but to also be an impact player right from the start.

We were just going to take what they were giving us. The thing I'm most proud about is that our kids stuck in their and came back after we fell behind.
