adversity built coach few fighting guys hold including mentality paying several stepped talked
Coach (Howland) talked about fighting through adversity. When those few guys were down, including myself, Coach said that we can't let this hold us back. And I think Coach has built a mentality of toughness. Several guys stepped up. I think it made us better as a team, and now it's paying off.

There's no time to be tired now. This is it. You lose, you go home and we don't want to go home.

We're capable of scoring. People get so caught up into the ugliness of the games because other teams are not scoring.

We can't hang our heads after everything we went through to get here. We came within one win of a national championship. I plan to take some time and reflect on all this. It's a special time in my life I'll never forget.
