We struggled with their defensive pressure. After our good start, we started to play too much one-on-one and it got us out of our early rhythm. We could not get over the hump after we fell behind in the second (quarter).

All you can ask is that the kids play hard and play a good defensive game. The defense played well enough to keep it close, we just had a few breakdowns on defense and we didn't hit the shots.

Rutgers is a very good defensive team and so are we, and we have a lot of weapons.

On the defensive end, they really turned up the pressure on us.

It's good pressure and it is pressure I'm appreciative of.

Last week left a sour taste in our mouth, ... (Defensive coordinator Ron) Rivera told us to be one play better than we were last week. If 11 guys are one play better, that's 11 better plays. That was our goal this week, to come out and dominate. We did that.
