Michael has a strong arm, and is getting better with his ball-fakes. He spent last year away from the position, so there's still some rust that needs shaking.

Our offensive linemen have decent size. The 2000 state championship team averaged 260 pounds up front. We're pretty close to that average (257 pounds) this year.

At halftime, we challenged the kids. We weren't executing on offense. After our first drive, we didn't score, and the fumble hurt us.

The difference is the little things. The little things that determine whether you win or lose.

The big thing was we didn't play well ... but we came out with a victory, which is always a positive.

Carter has become a weapon for us with his kicks.
