«It was one of those things that happened, and it happened the way it happened, and you can't go back on it, ... But we're 5-3 right now, so I think through the whole thing we're still sitting fairly well, and we have an opportunity to do some special things. So it didn't hurt us too bad if it was a distraction, hopefully.»

«I'm just trying to figure out where we go from here. This one's got me confused. We're just letting them get away, the same way, over and over again.»

«I have youth. That's a beautiful thing. I'm hungry. I'm by no means a content individual. I'm not content with where I'm at. I don't need to be motivated. I'm motivated. I'm ready to go.»

«You liked that one? I can't tell you what I saw. I had a good jump on it. It was third and one. People who really pay attention to the way I play see I make a lot of plays in the second half. You see a lot from body movement, from tendencies. Sometimes you see more in the game than you would on film.»

«That's what we've been doing since I've been here. It's always close, but not close enough. Until all of us as a whole come together and realize that we can indeed win and start taking the necessary steps and measures to do that, then that'll be what we are: The team that plays hard, and you're going to have to play your tails off to beat them, but some way, somehow, we'll win the game against them. And I think that's kind of like our rep right now, and we have to do everything we can to change that perception of us. And more importantly, we have to change it amongst ourselves.»

«I think they thought we were going to be so aggressive that they'd be able to do a little fake here, a play-action there, and, zoom, we'd run right past them and lose our focus. We didn't do that. This wasn't just the kind of game our defense needed, it was the kind of game our team needed.»

«We're not a bad team. We're close to doing a lot of things. In fact, we have the makings of a very, very good team, but it hasn't materialized. Doing these things consistently can give us a big morale boost.»

«I felt like that gave us the edge that we needed and it didn't work out. They were resilient. They made some crucial moves and they made some crucial plays.»

«This has been the greatest building block I've been a part of. I just hope and pray that I am a part of it next year.»

«This has been the greatest building block I have been a part of. We had a heck of a game and we will move on from there, but I am not going to dwell on that.»
