Carolina wanted it more than we did. Twenty-one points, normally through the course of the year that would have been enough for us. Defensively going in, we talked about not giving up the big play. We were not able to do that.
Carolina takes seriously its obligation as a NCAA member institution, and we shall continue to pursue with vigilance and honesty our goal of full compliance with all NCAA policies and procedures.
Carolina played a lot of Cover 2. When teams play Cover 2, you have to be able to run the ball. We didn't do that. And, we have to stay away from negative (yardage) plays.
Carolina offered him just a phenomenal financial package, and he was gone. Ken had developed his skills. We drafted him, we liked him, he had gotten better and better and better, and now he's playing at a certain level. That was a good signing by Carolina.
Carolina looks like they can hang with this team. They've shown they can play well on the road (even though) I know the Bears' offense is anemic. It should be a good NFC final.
Carolina is playing better now than they were up at Maryland. We're playing about the same, and that combination was the reason for the outcome today.
Carolina is a tough, physical, well-coached team. We earned the right to play this game at home, and that is very important.
Carolina has so many weapons and so do we, and I just wanted to play confidently and have fun out there. And that's what I did. I just had fun.
Carolina has been known for the last five years to have the best special teams in the league. We wanted to use that as a measuring stick to see where we stood. I guess we saw those results.
Carolina has a lot of great athletes. They're a very versatile team. They press extremely well. They're versatile on the offensive end. A lot of players can shoot the three ball and they hit the glass hard.
