It's a very cruel, abrupt end. Not only the season, but the actual game. It was a great game between two very good teams. I've never been more proud of a group of guys.

That's what makes the game so cruel. On one side, I have to be happy with the way we played. We moved the ball well, we played on the ground, we held some great possession. We just didn't show the composure to score.

I have been looking forward to this game since last season.

This is probably the most uptight I've been all season. Just because you wanted to win this game so bad.

They're playing as good as any team in the last month in the state. It's probably unlikely we were going to keep a huge cushion against them.

It's nice to win every game, but that's not something we'll dwell on until after the season.
