East Quotes
We did have some people place high, but for us it wasn't as much about placing as much as it was about just competing. In track you can measure how fast you run, how far you throw, or how high you jump week by week. So we were just looking at having everybody progress. Our ultimate goal is to have everyone be competitive at the Big East level.
-
Against Quotes
We'd had three tough losses in a row and everybody was down. I think our players said to themselves: 'Our backs are up against the wall and we've got no other option other than just to win, and if we lose another game we're probably out.' So they kind of took it as this last stand, and it was that way every week . . .somehow we found a way to win those last five.
-
Buzz Quotes
We ran into a buzz saw. We had a great week of preparation and felt good about ourselves. It was just a point in time in the season, probably, that things weren't going to click for us as well as in the past. We saw some things that were uncharacteristic of how we've been playing all season.
-
Broke Quotes
We didn't work any harder or any different. As we said all along, that one game that we broke down last week was a tribute to the New York Giants, but that was not us when you've gone 20 games in a row without giving up a 100-yard rusher. The 20 was a lot better reflection than the one as far as the kind of defensive football team you are.
-
Bigger Quotes
We didn't want to go halfway; we didn't want to win counties last week and have conferences taken away from us. I think this may have been even bigger than last week. We're just psyched about the rest of the season. All there is to look forward to now is the state championships, which we want. I know we're going to get there.
-
Counter Quotes
We have plenty of guys on offense who can play, we just need to find 11 who can do it together. I'm not sure they were on the field enough last week to know how they fit together. James Johnson ran 65 yards on a counter for the first play of the drive, so what can I say? I can't get mad at my offense for scoring too quickly.

Came Quotes
We have had a good last couple of days of practice. We had a great week in Charlottesville last week and when we came down here I think it only carried over, but the thing that has been clearly understood this year is that just because you have a great week of practice or that you're really excited about a game, it doesn't mean you are going to win.
