It's the Spaghetti Bowl -- anything can happen. It's one of the biggest games of the year. We try not to base our season on it, but it is a big one because of the fact that it is the rivalry game.

There can be some talking. During the play, we don't let up, but after it's fun to tease or give a high-five. It's not very dirty. We're just all out there playing. There's not that much bad blood between anybody this year.

We've been practicing against (their speed). They can either come off the ball quick or they will come at the legs. We're prepared for either way.

We've been down by 10 points in a lot of games this year. We just had to stay focused.

I don't know what the other guys felt but I'm sure they were tired. Playing two games in a row and killing penalties is definitely tough.

But we've played 16 games now and every game is (close) like that, with a couple of exceptions. It's getting ridiculous.
