We're gonna have to work real hard starting Monday. We really have to improve every week. I thought we made some improvements this week; a lot of things we did well, a lot of things we didn't do well. We're going to try to keep closing that gap.

That's the whole point of the increase in our schedule this year, to give us that second opportunity to get in.

We were kind of spotty in our last game; fortunately a few of the guys stepped up. It's just another two good games to help prepare us for our conference season.

We weren't sharp on either end. We didn't do anything on offense; we didn't do anything on defense. You put that combination together and you get beat 9-4.

We played a great first half defensively. We struggled to break them down one-on-one on the offensive end, but they've held some of the best teams in the country to single digits.

Each year the recruiting is getting better. Better kids are looking at us, and we're getting more of the blue-chip players, so I think the improvements are still coming. I think the next couple years it's really going to take off.

We could have held them a little tighter, which is what we've done in the past. We've got to score eight or nine, and our defense has got to do the job of holding them to seven or eight.

They slid to Boyce a lot, and he's one of our most potent dodgers.

Words can't describe a group that has been with us for four years and started the program.
