I thought we played really smart today. We looked like a real college football team, you know, the enthusiasm, the energy. ... There was a genuine enthusiasm, not fake enthusiasm out there. To me that was a really good football game.

I said they're games and they're big games. I said to the team. 'This I'd say is the biggest game since I've been there...' I think now, we're getting to the point where this is a really big game.

We'll watch the film and we'll make decisions.

I think that was the turning point of the game. From then on, I thought the defense had a lot of confidence.

There's just kind of a confidence that was throughout pre-game and throughout the locker room before the game, and even at halftime, there was a confidence that I hadn't seen in our student athletes at Columbia since I've been here. I don't think there was ever a thought that we weren't going to win that game. There wasn't any panic, ever.

We were playing with an edge and confidence that I hadn't seen at Columbia.
