I'm just proud of our kids to hang in there and keep their composure through all that adversity. We lost it for a little bit there in the fourth, but kept believing and kept working. That says a lot about our kids. This is two weeks in a row where it came down to the last second and we got it done.

It says a lot about our kids. That's two weeks in a row where it's down to the last second and you've got to get it done.

I always talk to the kids about team first and don't pay a lot of attention to your individual statistics or records or whatnot. Being up here and accepting something like this, I almost feel a little guilt because there are so many people behind it. I know my name will go down in the book, but I think Coach Haley's name needs to go right there with mine. And to all the players that have played for us, all their parents, all the administration, the fans... I'm just very thankful to all of you.

The kids have really been resilient, especially our seniors. They played through adversity and made up their minds they were going to go for it, even after last year. They are showing their true character.

I think he's just one of those kids who has overcome adversity and become a good player. He's overcome those things to make himself a very good football player. I expect him to be a dominating force this year.

They're a good team. We knew that. I'm just proud of the way our kids handled the mental adversity that goes with the delay.
