This was as good a performance as I've seen in awhile. These guys were awesome. I could have called any play on my sheet today. The blocking was crisp, the running was outstanding, the effort was awesome.

I think these kids got it now. I think they have really gotten the concept on defense; the offense has been good, but not consistent all year long, and I think they got it this week. It's what happens with kids, and it's what happens with good teams that practice hard. Sooner or later, they absorb what you're trying to teach them, and instead of doing what you tell them, they do what they know how to do.

Their week was completely nuts. You could have teams going, 'I don't know what the hell to do now.' These guys pulled together. It was just awe-inspiring. I'm in awe of what they did.

The offensive line just dominated, and that doesn't usually happen up here. Our offensive line, pretty much from the start, had their way with their kids. When that happens, you can do anything that you want.

We played two big games in a row. They want to stay on this roll. Undefeated in our league, -- that's a hell of a thing right now.

I've never seen this happen. It is the kind of thing we talk about constantly in practice, but I've never seen it happen. ... It constantly reminds me that, as much as I treat (football) like a life-and-death thing, that it's not. The health of an individual is far more important than whether we win a football game or not.
