It really doesn't make any difference.

The more games you play, the more chance you have of playing a bad game on offense. Your defense can play good every week as long as they play hard. It's a lot easier to play defense than it is offense.

Respect — you have to earn that and we didn't early in the season. We were forgot about for a while, and we're kinda moving back up.

It was a good victory for us, ... It wasn't one of our best games, but we had some great individual performances.

I think Brandon Cox is going to be a heck of a college quarterback. He's going to make a name for himself.

That is football. You have got to execute and tonight the kicking game wasn't there for us. They ran that punt back, we made a mistake but that's part of it.

We tried everything that we could. There are no excuses.

We'll play when we get there, I guess. It's not our fault that we can't get down there. You'd love it if this game had been in the day where you could have a little leeway in case there's bad weather. Obviously the conference is not worried about that, so we're just going to go down there and play and hopefully we can get down there in time.

That's the problem with the voting. We vote at the beginning of the year and don't (change) votes at the end of the year. I would hope in the future we would pick the four best teams at the end of the year and play them off and have a true national champion.
