There was a lot of excitement tonight, and we came out ready to go.

We've gone to the spread. We were getting outnumbered; teams were putting nine or 10 guys in the box to stop the run. We've been working very hard on it.

Again, I think it's going to be a great football game. Reggie Bush is going to be the difference. I think it's going to come down to a made field goal or a special teams play. Special teams is going to be a major factor.

Lakeside hurt us a little with the option. But we preach getting turnovers. We won the turnover battle by three (5-2) and lost. We need to win those games.

I think it will be a great game, but I can't root against the Buckeyes. Ohio State is pretty deep and has an awfully good defense. I'm going to take the Buckeyes.

Wow, what a football game. Our kids stepped it up big time and made the big plays. They fought tooth and nail until the last kick.
