assure last maybe team won year
We're a better team at 0-1 than we were at 1-0 a year ago, ... I can assure you of that. This is one, in my opinion, maybe we shouldn't have lost. Maybe we won one last year we shouldn't have won. But that's football. That's the way things go sometimes.

It's pretty obvious tonight we got it handed to us.

There's always going to be uncertainty until it's a done deal. I anticipate all three of them coming back. I've been told they're coming back, but again, is there some uncertainty. Certainly, there is some uncertainty.
