I don't know if I've ever been more proud of a football team than I was today. Especially on defense.

They went both ways today, a lot of them went both ways. That was unfortunate. We had the ball down there in the red zone, and all of a sudden we're 30 yards back.

I could see it in practice this week; he had a little burst and got some wiggle back and some of the things he's always done. So I'm not surprised to see him break through and have a heck of a day.

Our guys busted their tails. They played hard down after down after down against an outstanding offense. You've got some kids who are Division I players on that team who transferred in, but our defense was ruthless in their effort. I'll tell you what, they're going to be damn good.

There's only one stat that I care about: if we win and have more points than they do.

You've got a chance to put them down 14-6, and that's what we were going for.

We thought long and hard about not playing him. He said he could go.
