They're very active with their hands and we weren't able to adjust very quickly to their defense out top because they'd sag off and try to get tips and deflections.

We knew they were big, and we knew we had to play our best game to win this. I felt like every single person played hard today. We just didn't execute on defense or on offense.

I was just taking it all in and trying to enjoy the moment.

It just feels good. All the hard work over the summer paid off tonight.

It's a real big test for our character, and how we handle it will be very interesting.

We don't really have a star on defense or anybody who really stands out. We're a bunch of guys who play into a system and that's been the key to our success. Nobody is above the system.
