I just don't think we played very well after that first half of a quarter. I'm a little disappointed in our intensity level, and I was disappointed in our penalties. ... We didn't keep the ball enough to keep their offense off the field.

He's got a great release and a great arm. He gets rid of the ball fast. I laughed at some of the reports I read, that his arm was only average. His arm is not average. He's got a great arm.

I think they have a very physical front seven. I think defensively they're very good.

I would say he's one of the tops. We've had some really good backs come through here. Since I've been here, we've probably had six or seven Division I guys, potential NFL guys. We've had a guy go to the NFL who played running back here. I would rank him near the top, just because of his physical play and his speed and his breakaways.

Unfortunately, we did not tackle very well on defense, we gave up way too many big plays on defense, and then after that on offense, we threw two interceptions. The fumble on first down really hurt us, and then we just had too many penalties in crucial situations. ... Against a good team, you can't put yourself in first-and-long, second-and-long situations.
