They brought the blitz, they got in the backfield, they really controlled the line of scrimmage, ... They did a good job of containing our running game.
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.
They made some great adjustments in the second half. We obviously didn't do a good enough job in finishing.
My job is to let everybody know what I stand for and to let my light shine. I want to show others the way I live so that hopefully they follow. I can also tell about my experiences as a Christian so that I may help bring others to Christ.
People always say, and my family has said it to me, that you know who your real friends are when you're at your lowest point and you don't have a job or whatever.
I think he should get a lot of credit. He's the one that is able to put the ball in our hands. He comes up with different ways to really get the ball to us, and I think he does a great job of doing 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.
