"Our guys, I thought we played hard. I didn't think we played particularly well at times. I thought they did a good job mixing and matching some things, we made adjustments, and had opportunities to make plays. I mean, you gotta make critical plays at critical moments to keep pressure going back and forth in the game. Early, we had kind of… we had a couple… we had a drop on the first play, we had a miss on the second play. In the second, we're up 3-0, we get a good drive, they drive back and score, and then we're moving it again and create a turnover."

"Our defense did a good job. Transition defense gave up a field goal and unfortunately, we gave up a 90-yard drive right there before half, which was critical. But then [we] came out and played well defensively and offensively. We got a couple first downs on some things and then just didn't get it going. Then, we had a really good drive and we missed a block on the backside. [We] had a chance to score with 10 minutes to go, get it to a two-score [game], 20-14, you're still in the ballgame. But then, I give our kids credit. We kept playing, we played hard."

"They're a good football team. We have a good football team but we have to play better and I have to coach better and that's on me to get them in the right positions at the right time and make sure they know what's going on and play better, because we have a good team. Like I said, they're a good team, and so, we just didn't play well enough today and didn't do what we needed to do."
