We let the big-play guys make big plays. Our worst nightmare came true. The playmakers made plays. We had them third-and-15 twice and we let them off the hook.

One of our goals is we've got to win the conference and we had to win one of the next two to have a chance at that. After that, it's the sectional championship and that's still the ultimate goal.

We have a long way to go ... everything's just new right now.

I don't like the word lucky, but we got a break when they fumbled on the 1 ... they would have gone up two scores.

That's a huge win. We got a couple of breaks. We could've folded ... that's a very hard, very difficult team to stop.

I really feel like I ran a good campaign and I wish him well. The people made their choice and the people have spoken.
