All we know is that we're playing a championship team, and that's exciting. ... We know what the MAC is capable of them. We'll be ready.

Our special teams and kicking game were great today. This was big for our seniors. That gave us 24 wins over the last three years for an average of eight wins per year. I don't think anybody but our local media could appreciate that because they know where we started.

I was very confident that he had the facts and that he would make a rational decision.

When you're us, you try harder.

We talked all week that we had to throw to win. They (Zips) loaded up the box early to stop the run. We figured we'd take anywhere between five and eight shots deep and we'd have to hit on at least a few of them to win.

Seriously, I'd like to know -- has any team gone through something like this? I don't think so. If they have, I'd love to talk to their coach to see how they handled it. I think we've done a pretty good job.

That was a good win for us. I'm not going to apologize for winning.

That's a good story. I hope that's not true. I hope we didn't go through 75 hours of talks, and he made his decision over how many fans were there. I could've done that for him in a short period of time.

I didn't want to be the only coach in the country to get a Gatorade bath -- then lose the game. This became an awakening around the campus and the town.
