The defense played great. Statistically it was pretty even, but we shut them down when we had to.

Thacker had a heck of a ball game, Orlando had a strong game and Crabtree has played well all season. The whole defense made plays when it had to.

Even though we stretched, we made the plays when we had to. Everybody contributed. Both sides of the ball stepped up when they had to.

They put some pressure on the quarterback and made some plays for us.

It was a good team win. We hung together and gave ourselves a chance to win.

(Jude) Crabtree and Taylor were back at defensive end and had a good ball game. Tanner Williamson has won a spot in rotation at defensive tackle. Overall, the defense played pretty well. We only gave up two touchdowns.
