I saw them play with confidence and heart. They have been playing with heart all season, but tonight they had the confidence. They didn't give up when they got down and played hard in the second half to get back in the game.

This was a good match for Ryan to help build his confidence, even though he didn't play as well as he could have. He got a little lazy and times, but played well enough to win.

Well we played poorly tonight. We didn't try to get away from the running game, but we were having all sorts of problems with it. Our line wasn't playing well. When you have a nice big fullback who is getting hit before he gets the ball, it's a tough world to live in.

We have looked good in practice all week. We didn't look good tonight though. Our defense did look good on occasions tonight and had some big stops. Unfortunately we turned the ball over to many times.

That was a killer for us, it changed everything in the football game. The rule is once you move forward with the ball, the punter is a live target. The officials called that the punter had intent to punt the whole time after he picked it up off the ground. That's a tough call to make.

I'm very proud of our guys. This is a big win for them. It's s big win for the program.
