I think we played harder. That's why we were able to get back into it. But we had more game to play. We had to keep playing.
awful coach game hour played stopping watch
We're going to look awful on the film. You feel like you played well during the game and then you go watch the film. It's about an hour long, and Coach is stopping it every 10 seconds.
came casual grasp hard penn people played ready state
I'm disappointed and surprised, because you'd think people would have been ready to play. We played lackadaisically in the first half, and that's not acceptable. After the Penn State game, it is hard to grasp that we came out casual today.

It doesn't feel good. It was a fun ride, but right now it doesn't feel that good.

Some of the players on our team have never lost at home. Dee (Brown) and I have only lost once, and that was a pretty bad feeling. It gives us motivation to win.
