We appreciate the fact that we get to play at home.
There are definitely enough resources of people that have been there. Even guys on our team that have been there and played in this game, and I guess you just have to listen and try to learn what you can from those types of people.
We actually felt we had the momentum after that. It was good for our offense.
We are just happy to come out of here with a win. I heard someone say in the locker room, 'Let's hurry up and get out of here before they change the score.' We are looking forward to getting on the plane and going.
