(Strickland) was scrambling for his life the whole game. But he found his guys and they kept going. We did a lot of things wrong and there's going to be some changes made.

In the second half, we were dead to the world. It was like someone popped a balloon. We dropped passes and we did things that a professional team shouldn't do.

I feel bad for our fans. They came out here to see us win, and I want to apologize to them. I want them to give us another chance.

Too many mistakes. Too many turnovers. We let them keep too many drives going, too many penalties. I'm going to have to take a look at the film, but other than our defense, we have a lot of stuff to work on.

Winning solves a lot of problems. We hadn't beaten Middleton since they moved into the Big Eight so that made that win special. It has to be an everyday habit. Winning is a frame of mind.

Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
