We were coming off Christmas break and I knew we'd be rusty. Our defense could have been better. That's what hurt us. Usually at the end of the game is when our defense picks up, but we were having to play catch-up.

I knew he was going to be rusty coming back. It doesn't surprise me. You figure it's going to take at least three starts down there. Hopefully he gets it together in five days.

We just weren't shifting and rotating. So we had to go to man defense.

I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

Naturally, coming out on the first day, you're going to be a little rusty. You've got to get the butterflies and the kinks and things out, but I think as a team our morale is up. We're definitely excited about coming in.

It wasn't a fake - he saw the defense coming and knew he couldn't get the kick off. We forgot to tackle him. We had 'em dead in the water and the fish got away.
