We talked at halftime about a couple of things. First thing we fixed is that we weren't playing a physical game in the first half, and secondly we moved Matt Mikhail to midfield to get more possessions on the ball.
The rivalry was the last thing on my mind. I tried to downplay it as much as possible because we aren't used to having a large number of people at games and I was afraid we'd lose focus.
Someone would have to say, 'Hey, we have somebody that is still out there. Go get them,' and that dedicated force would go do it.
Some units have taken it down to the battalion level, that's how critical they see it.
Our Soldiers need to know that we're not going to leave them out there, that we are coming for them.
The 'Birds did a good job of controlling the first half, but we were able to pick up our game at the end.
I think that they're going to run out of gas if they're not careful. It would be worse to run out than it would be to have plenty of high-priced gas.
You're going to see it with reintegration as well. Just because we recover a Soldier, it doesn't stop there; when that Soldier comes home and goes through his rear detachment the personnel recovery mechanism is still doing a bunch of things to help reintegrate that Soldier, ... To make sure that he's taken care of.
Matt shows what work and perseverance can do. When he was a sophomore, we didn't think too much of him as a player. He's made improvements to where I think he is all-state caliber.
