I don't know if we necessarily had something to prove, but we do feel differently than last week. Last week was a very humbling experience. . . . There's no moral victories, or anything like that, but against one of the top teams in the country, we played well.

The secondary is a very tight unit. We just have fun out there together, that's what we've decided to do. I think it's one of the closest units on the team.

That's part of football. They're going to have to pick us up sometime.

Football is important but the fact that he got his personal life and school and family back in order, that is way more important than football. I am happy and very pleased that he got that in order. That's what I feel is more important.

Gorham is really stepping up. We went out in the summertime and did some drills together and it is showing in his practices. They all look good. They are all working hard and they have been competing. [Brown and Cook] look like they are going to be good and they have been working real hard. They have so much talent.

I was upset that they got that play on me, but I wouldn't have hung the blame all on myself. As a corner, you've got to take chances. I took a chance on him throwing an out and he threw a fade.

[Cook] had been playing so well and we are going to miss him. But, we have guys that have to step up and make plays and fill in.

If he had it at all, it was at the highest point. But as we were coming back to the ground, I had it. I don't think there was any way that he could have got the ball.

I have to try to instill in them that bad things are going to happen. It happens at every position on the field. Even though our position might get exploited a lot because we are the last line of defense, they still have to keep their heads up and stick together and they will be fine.
