Mike Norman Quotations

We're still trying to find an identity and Friday night was a step in the right direction.

We got too fast. We wanted to run if we had a chance like in the first quarter. We had talked about if (they) were ahead of us to slow it down and get in a set offense and we never really did do that. The pace got so fast we kind of wore ourselves out.

We were kind of sick. I had three that were sick and to be that sick we played hard. We've kind of had the flu bug hit us this week. I was pleased with the way we played.

We got a little bit excited and we didn't do exactly what we practiced. They've got so many weapons and they change the defenses so fast and we just kind of got run down.

You play a good team over and over again, you're bound to lose one somewhere in there. It's tough. I think we just knew we had to play our game. We knew what Polk was going to do and we just played our game regardless. I think we accomplished that.

They make you expend so much energy just keeping it close (with their pressure). We expended so much energy in the first that we were pretty much out of gas by the second quarter.
