Halfway through the second half, (the Raiders) were physically tired because we were able to throw a lot of bodies at them. We benefited from a travel day for them and them playing 45 minutes against Oklahoma State (on Saturday).

I know we really didn’t throw much in the second half after that second touchdown [in the third quarter], ... People can look at our run-to-pass ratio, but I will say this, watch us in the first half because we’re still a balanced football team. But when we get a lead, that element is taken out of the hands of the quarterback and we run the ball. So we just shut it down. It distorts the numbers a little bit. So, talk about the numbers in the first half.

We are a second half team. We have some great coaches that are able to see what changes we need to make and the kids are really listening to them. I am happy about being un-beaten, but even happier with the fact that we have an off week and we are as healthy as we have been since the start of two-a-days.

Now, after a year and a half with this, I'm too tired, and I really don't want to take on such a difficult task.

Offensively, we kind of went stagnant in the second half. We got to the free-throw line and hit some big free throws. They started pressing man-to-man, and we sort of lost our cool for a little while.

In the second half, we were down and we couldn't get back up.
