We don't always have the greatest athletes, but these kids are great kids who are always going to play hard-nosed football. They will always play hard and tough and that's why we have all this support.

The people around here are very hard-working. Many of them work at plants. And that is representative of what we have on the football field.

When you're down like that, sometimes water can go through cement. But we hung in there and fought hard all the way. It's something to build on in the second half.

I was real pleased that when we got things going, we had a 17-play drive and an 18-play drive. The only problem was that we had four of those one- and two-play drives. You just cannot make those mistakes in this game.
