We were concerned especially with homecoming week and everything. Defensively, we played a great game.

That's a wake-up call for everybody. You watch them on game tapes, they have some talented players and good team speed.

Mark really influenced the game defensively. There were just a lot of things about the way he played.

We played outstanding defensively and were able to get out of a few jams.

You don't have the game you played last year or last week. You only have today's game. It may be far from your best, but that's all you've got. Harden your heart and make the best of it.

We stood our ground. Defensively, they played well too. But we were able to keep (their offense) off the field.
