Patrick Mcgurn
It really opens up a slippery slope, ... It opens them (the Bush administration) up for attack where they don't need to be attacked.

Eddie Hoffman
That is kind of the way we have been all season. Clear back to the second game of the season when we played Slippery Rock, we have scored in spurts. We put in a press that helps us get some quick scoring and that kind of got our motor going tonight.
