We appear to be the smallest team on the field each week. They're big. They're a very big, physical team.

It was a big game. They are a physical team. They always are physical. I'm real proud of the linemen on both sides of the ball.

I was the oldest guy in the field by some 15-years and probably the smallest. There was teasing going on because some of my opponents were these big bruisers. I never would have expected this when I first started. When I told people that I had been playing for only three years, no one could believe it. But you don't get here without a lot of help. I couldn't have done it without a lot of support. I spent a lot of time going to the park when no one was around and worked on my game.

I've always been the smallest player on my team. I'm just used to it. I don't think about it anymore.

I don't think you come and if you lose, you're behind the 8-ball. We're not approaching it that dramatically. But with the season we had last year, we're trying to get it off on the right foot. We're trying to build up. We're not living in last year, but we're reminding these kids how important it is to get something early to reverse those fortunes.

We'd like to play a game with no turnovers and keep the other team from big plays. If we can get into the fourth quarter, anything can happen.
