Our team fought to the very end. I made sure our coaches prepared these guys to fight for 60 minutes. The players believed...they made plays and played with great effort against a great football team. And they did everything in their power. There were a few plays here and there that could've went another way, but I don't fault our football team, I don't fault our coaches, I don't fault anybody on our staff. We did everything in our power to go out there and give us an opportunity to defeat the number one team in the nation.
On Perry Orth not being sharp in the first half:
It affected us a lot.
