That's something Bush obviously has to deal with. He has not dealt with the McCain question.

It's the hand we're dealt, and we have to deal with it. Obviously, it's to the point where we can't afford to lose anybody else. We didn't want to lose the other guys. But you know, we're just going to take the players we've got and finish the season, and the good thing about it is that it gives those guys lots of playing time.

We were not good, and unprepared, I guess, and emotionally not ready. They were so much more aggressive to the ball. Something that has been a staple of ours, our defense, just let us down tonight.

We have to deal with the hand that we?re dealt. We have to look at it as the glass being half-full. This is a challenge. A lot of times when you?re short, it becomes a time to learn. That?s what we?re hoping is going to happen.
