We just have to get more consistent defensively. Our defense as a whole can come out and stop people. We do have a very big defensive line and we challenge those guys every week.

We're going to throw the ball, but we definitely want to get the running game back up.

Now, with Jimmy Drew being a little more experienced, they should be able to throw the ball a little bit. Instead of run, run, run, what they'll do is try and lull you to sleep and bang, hit you with play action. We just have to be ready for that and mature enough to recognize it when it comes.

We just came out a little flat. We've done that a few times this year. We can't do it anymore. We have some really tough games coming up and we just have to go out and get it done. We challenged the kids at the half to suck it up and go and they responded.

That was huge. We practice our two minute offense a bunch being a throwing team. We executed really well. It fell together pretty good. What can you say about that sophomore quarterback (Matt Brown). He did a darn good job and he took some shots tonight. He's a tough nut and he's a good kid. He's getting to be a pretty good quarterback. He's really come a long way.

We shouldn't fall off like that and we did a little bit. Maybe we weren't prepared. We have to work with those guys a little bit more on our part. The effort was there, they played hard, we just lined up wrong a couple of times and allowed them to have a few big plays late in the game.

We want to run the ball but we want to mix it with the pass.

We had a lot of opportunities last year on offense that we didn't take advantage of. We had a fumble or two, one that I know of on a pretty good drive and a lot of penalties. We have to keep our penalties at a minimum, they're a very aggressive defense. They're going to blitz some people and come at you. We have to control that and make them pay when they're gambling on the edges.

We wanted to cut down on our mental mistakes, Physically, we're pretty athletic. We had 12 penalties (last week) and six bad snaps last week. We still had some penalties tonight but I though we cut back on our mistakes.
