They play better defense than what their statistics showed. I felt that coming in.

You might not see it in the statistics, but we really played well on defense. Most of [Rensselaer's] yards came in the fourth quarter when we played our starters.

They play great defense, a great match-up zone. They put pressure on the ball. And they have two outstanding sisters. If it's not one of them doing something, it's the other one.

They've got a lot of speed on defense and it showed. We knew that going in but seeing it out on the field is a lot different than watching film. But we learned a lot tonight about our team. We learned they're they can get tough when they need to. They played with a lot of guts tonight.

Our defense is key to us right now. We've got to play good defense. That's our driving force.

I think what's going to be key going forward will be the tradeoff (in the economic news) between the statistics on employment and statistics on inflation.
