We don't base our season on the Marist and Tucker games. We got to keep up our effort every week and win the games that we're supposed to win.

If I've got some knowledge about them that people may not know, I can certainly throw it into the mix. They're like, 'Oh man, you just killed that guy. Not only is he sending you to jail, he's whipping you up here on the stage.' A little adding insult to injury.

We got ahead, and we sort of sat on it and maybe got a little conservative. I didn't feel like they were moving the ball good enough on us to beat us. I just felt like our team was dominating the line of scrimmage.

I don't know how good we will end up overall this season, but I've been nothing less than enthused with the progress from where we came from. Last year, we were very weak, had only a couple of starters and fought our way to a 4-6 season. We've come a country mile since then.
