I'm just happy for him, especially after the MAC Tournament. He bounced back well.

I think that had a real big affect on him. He didn't have a chance to work on some of the things he really wanted to work on in the summer and the fall.

He wasn't himself early in the match. He got too far behind. The thing that cost him was the back points.

I'm just proud of him.

I wanted that pin badly. With about 10 seconds left I got a chance to pin him and I just missed. I couldn't get my arm around the way I wanted to. I really went for the pin pretty hard at the end.

This was a tough week for us. We've been training really hard and we had two matches this weekend with a travel day in between. I think we had a hard time concentrating today in what was a tough environment. I was happy that we won, but I wasn't necessarily happy with how we won.

They have lion's hearts. I think that's going to pay off for them more in life than all the wrestling skills.

I think there is going to be a good crowd at Kent State on Sunday. They've really been promoting the match and I expect a lot of the Cleveland-area kids to come out since it's a Sunday. It should be a good crowd and a good atmosphere.

Whenever you have seniors you hate to see them go. I know it was a special night for Mark and Jason.
