I think Vince helped us out a lot. The defense has to be very leery of his attacking ability. When he was in the game, it seemed like the defense played a little loose.

I'm kind of glad I got the fumble thing out of the way. Hopefully, that won't come back up the rest of the season.

We haven't won the games we wanted to win. I thought maybe if I put baseball aside and focus on football, I can get us a step closer to where we want to be.

It's just part of the game.

I don't think this team realized how good we are, ... I think we are one of the top three teams in the country, I really do.

It's a change, definitely, a different situation.

As a competitor, you want to be out there, making something happen, especially when the team is losing. But my time will come.

The end came off the edge and I missed an assignment there. I didn't get my guy.

Thomas was running the ball well. I didn't get much of a chance.
