We were in a situation we could have lost this game. We were in the same situation we were in when we lost to Western Carolina (in the final game) last season. But these guys went out there and won this one.
We're looking pretty good so far, but that's against ourselves, ... I know EKU is talented in that area, and the last time we went up there (in 2003), they ran a kickoff back against us, and they ran a punt back against us.
Last year was a struggle in a lot of ways, ... Defense really hurt us last year. We're used to some pretty tough defenses, and that wasn't the case.
I can't even compare walking into that locker room today after this game with the way it was last time, ... We were 1-3 (after the 2003 game). I'm proud of these players today. We got down 7-0, but they didn't bat an eye.
Some things got loose last year, and that's my fault. I take responsibility for that. But I feel good about these players. I know what kind of kids we've got. I know what they want to accomplish.
