afford anywhere certainly easy game gave ground help knew momentum near needed ourselves perfect stay
We certainly didn't help ourselves today. We knew we had to play a near perfect game to stay in the game with them and we weren't anywhere near what we needed to be. We gave them some easy scores, which we said we couldn't afford to do and we never were able to get anything going offensively on the ground or in the air. We never had any momentum in the game.

Louis was with us in the fall, kind of just went through the whole thing on his own. I think he's put himself or giving himself another chance, but he has, to this point, done everything we've asked him to do and will continue to do the same and ... is excited about his new opportunity.
