THEY SAID IT
"It’s a disappointing loss. We came in hot, winning eight of our last nine games and we just did some things today that were not like us. Defensively, we kicked the ball around a little bit, even mentally, a couple of first-and-third situations both on offense and defense, that we didn’t play right. We weren’t prepared today and I’ll take responsibility for that. We’re a better team than we showed today.”—Head coach Mickey Ennis
