The other thing that killed us was that punt. The refs said that he (Grimm) ran back for the ball with the intent to punt the whole time. How's our kid supposed to know that that this guy's intention is to punt? That was the turning point in the football game.
I'm very proud of our guys. This is a big win for them. It's s big win for the program.
I saw them play with confidence and heart. They have been playing with heart all season, but tonight they had the confidence. They didn't give up when they got down and played hard in the second half to get back in the game.
That was a killer for us, it changed everything in the football game. The rule is once you move forward with the ball, the punter is a live target. The officials called that the punter had intent to punt the whole time after he picked it up off the ground. That's a tough call to make.
We have looked good in practice all week. We didn't look good tonight though. Our defense did look good on occasions tonight and had some big stops. Unfortunately we turned the ball over to many times.
Well we played poorly tonight. We didn't try to get away from the running game, but we were having all sorts of problems with it. Our line wasn't playing well. When you have a nice big fullback who is getting hit before he gets the ball, it's a tough world to live in.
