The defense won the game,

They played good defense, and we just couldn't put the ball in the basket.

I feel good about our defense, which is important considering our inexperience at the goaltending position.

We did what we needed to on defense to win. Tyler Harrington had an absolutely fabulous game at defensive end for us. He had three tackles for losses. David Mullen had two sacks and several hurries. Those hurries helped our defensive backs pick off four passes.

We played better defense in the second half.

I mean, it feels good to have the No. 1 defense. It's the first thing we strive for. It's one of our goals. The main goal is to win the Super Bowl and hopefully our defense can carry us there.
