We've got to have a little fortune fall our way. Winning on Friday would be very important because I feel like we play very well at home.

Number one, I was trying to change our fortune. Number two, we've been preaching a lot about character and showing some class. I just thought it'd be a sign of showing kids that you didn't have to look like a bum all the time to do a job. They got a kick out of it. I think it loosened them up a little bit.

We go into every event knowing that we're capable of winning. Every time I show up my plan is to win.

Every coach is biased about his own kid, but I wouldn't trade Kevin for anybody. He accepted not making the Dandy Dozen as a challenge. A lot of people, including some colleges, looked over him because of his height, but his size makes him play harder.

We turned the ball over too much. We had too many missed opportunities to win this game.

It's huge what these kids have accomplished. God gets the glory and they get every bit of the credit. They have done a great job of buying into the system and wanting to win. Our five seniors are extremely mature. Even when they came in as sophomores, they were mature.
