I thought we played well -- well enough to win in the second half. We made the adjustments that we talked about at halftime, and they worked. We just fell a little short tonight.

There are a lot of positives. We can't get bent out of shape and hold our heads down just because it didn't go our way. We're going to be characterized by how we stick together.

Williams came out and played hard. It seemed like they dominated up front offensively and defensively. They were blowing the defensive line off the ball ... and their defensive line disrupted a lot of things we wanted to do.

We're just focusing on Northern Durham, one game at a time. The guys have a poster of a ladder in the locker room, and we're not jumping ahead.

We wanted to establish the run. After we wear them down some on the run, then we'll drop back and pass. That was our game plan for tonight. We knew that we had the size advantage. We wanted to use that as one of our main contributions to our win tonight.

We got more consistent play from our quarterback position. I think that was the big key.
