I was scared to death. I didn't know if they realized what we were facing, all the different things they're experiencing. I was nervous about it. I wasn't sure they were comprehending the magnitude of our opportunity. But they seem to be able to enjoy it and step back focus on it at the same time.

Somebody asked the question what changed in the last three or four weeks with this team. It's the mentality. We haven't let our offense dictate who we were defensively. Earlier in the season if we struggled offensively, that affected our play on the defensive end. I don't care what happens on the offensive end. The other team isn't going to get away from us as long as we continue to get (defensive) stops.
