When you play the No.1 team in the state, and they probably are the No. 1 team in the state, and you play them like that, it gives you a lot of good feelings. We had a chance to win this ballgame and just came up a little bit short.

I think our kids understand the challenge this week. We have to continue to play football with a positive frame of mind.

We sure do hope to see Fort Campbell again. I just mentioned that to my kids -- if they're No. 1, we're No. 1-and-a-half, and we hope to see them again. It will mean more next time.

The same teams return for next season. We've had tremendous support from the fans and Integra Bank and our other sponsors.

I thought we did a lot of things well. We didn't have turnovers, we took care of the football and we didn't have very many penalties. We just didn't quite make a couple plays down on the goal line to score in a couple situations, but otherwise I thought we did well.

It's not an easy place to play and win. It has to be controlled. The only challenge we could have as a coaching staff is that the players are too high.
