You have to stay healthy. In high school your depth is not as good as your starters. That's the key to the whole season. Unless we give up a big run or big pass I can't see anyone scoring on us.

I've never seen Nate play a better game - ever. I told him before the game: 'If you want to be considered a big-time player, this is where you do it. I saw Nate take control of that huddle in the last drive. He took over.

What we did last year doesn't matter now.

I think it's a mix of a lot of things. Obviously we have good players. Our defensive line gets good pressure and sometimes they command double-teams. That frees space up for other players to make plays. It's just good team defense.

I think it's one of the best games he's played. He seems to always play his best games in the big games and against the best players.

There's no doubt the strength of our team will be defense. We have a lot of great players on defense that have experience.

We prepare well and know what each team is doing. They're just excited to play. They don't care who we play. They just want to go out and dominate.
