You get a chance to go out there and play and get better. It's a chance to get the defense better and get myself better at the same time.

If we can field ground balls and play solid on defense, I think we'll have a good chance to win every game.

The more games you play, the more chance you have of playing a bad game on offense. Your defense can play good every week as long as they play hard. It's a lot easier to play defense than it is offense.

Defense was the major flaw of our play. We never gave the offense a chance to shine because of poor passing and serve receive.

They play passionate defense. They get off blocks faster than anyone we have played and I'm not saying that because they are our next opponent. They make very few mistakes defensively, and if there's a 50-yard pass, you'll see the defensive linemen running down the field.

We should be pretty good this year, ... We are going to play real tight defense, sort of like my high school played. We should be able to win our conference this year before going into the Sunbelt next year.
