It was like David and Goliath out there. They were huge and big and we tried to run the ball and we couldn't. We couldn't establish anything. We couldn't throw the ball because they were playing a 4-3 with a Cover-2. so it was very difficult to move the ball on them.

He brought the hotel up from a young age, ... Family always brought him back to the Union.

They were playing Cover-2 and the corner was up a little bit tight and the safety never came over. It was an excellent throw and Caleb takes it in for a touchdown. Now we're down one touchdown and we're feeling pretty good about ourselves.

That's something we go through in practice, ... These are the plays we can count on to carry us through and the boys executed very well - our running back Chris Newman in particular.

He loved to meet with people, see how things were going, ... Even though he was retired, he still had a big presence.

I thought Brandon had a tremendous game on both sides of the ball and his decision making was quite good, ... You got to remember you're going against one of the best defensive teams in Iowa and they gave us problems all night long.

The dogs shed a lot of blood in these things.

He was strong enough to hold off the defender and get the ball off to Chris and Chris finds an opening and he just makes something happen.

You look at him and you think, 'Oh my gosh, I don't know if I can count on him,' and then he starts running with the ball and no one is going to bring him down, ... He runs so hard and so determined to get into the end zone and that's his trademark.
