Credit to our defense. Any time as an offense you struggle, you've got to have your defense play solid and stop them. Our defense definitely did that. I'm proud of them. They took a good step toward the right direction in being able to stop people when they need to.

The defense might be a little angry. Anytime the fans are into it, it trickles down. If they're booing him every time and are on him, I'm sure the defense picks it up and maybe give him an extra shot.
That was probably the best defense I've faced as far as the run game in my career.
Everything speeds up and it's blurry for a minute. But you've got to have a little patience sometimes to just find a soft spot. There's always a soft spot in the defense, and it's your job to find it.
I knew that they were going to be up for us trying to run the ball. At that point they were pinning their ears back. That's why you saw the big play happen, too. When they got all them guys up, somebody didn't get over in that gap where they were supposed to get, and Michael got right down the sideline.
It's still fairly early, ... but at the same time, we can't afford to drop any more.
It's not fair to sit here and say how Philip is going to do. We haven't even stepped on the field together.
They just played good defense. I don't know specifically what they did; I have to wait to see the film.
I'm a competitive person. I think you all know that. Myself, I feel like I can do more. But at the same time we do have other players on the team who can make plays. Just being me, yeah, I want to be utilized a little bit more than what I am.
I'm pretty sure people are getting tired of hearing (everyone) say, 'LT hasn't caught any passes' or whatever, ... It's definitely in the game plan, and that's going to be something we try to do this week -- make sure I touch the ball in open space.
I'm only in my fifth year, and we still have five games to go down the stretch, and the offensive line is just now getting healthy, ... So I'm looking forward to what we have here in the future.
It was nice. So many times we've been on the losing end of games like this. I figured one game would have to go our way.
Oh, she's doing great. She's really come through it. She's positive. She's the same person she was before. Everything's good.
