broke defense score
Our defense just broke down and didn't tackle. That score should've never happened.
against defense gave good last played playing plays return team time
Our defense is playing real good right now. The punt return team gave up the touchdown. The defense played real well against Troy. They had two big plays for their touchdowns. Other than that, we didn't give up much. I feel a lot better our defense than I did this time last year.
athletes bit good group high love quality quick school team
This group didn't have the high quality athletes (we had in 2003), but we had a lot of good high school athletes who love to play the game. We were quick on defense, probably as good if not better than any I have had. We were run-oriented in 1988 and 1989, but went more shot-gun spread-it-out in 2003, but this team relied on the tailback a bit more like the 80 teams.
deal hope learned players
I hope our players have learned how to deal with some success.
beat chance knew miller represent south
I knew when we beat T.R. Miller we had a chance to represent the south in the championship game.
deep everybody expected experience gained last playoffs win
Being so young last year, we gained a lot of experience then having most everybody back, I expected us to go deep in the playoffs if we didn't win it all.

I'm really excited four our kids. They took a real beating last year. A lot of hard work and preparation went into this and I'm happy for them.

I hope we don't need him at defensive tackle.
help inside needs played state wants wherever win
He played inside linebacker on the state championship team. He wants to win and he'll play wherever he needs to to help his team.
behind four game nobody start teams top wants win
It's a big game for us. Nobody wants to start out behind in our region. I feel like Neal will be one of the top four teams in our region. If we want to be one of the top three, we need to win this game.
coming dead defense fake fish forgot kick knew saw tackle water
It wasn't a fake - he saw the defense coming and knew he couldn't get the kick off. We forgot to tackle him. We had 'em dead in the water and the fish got away.
decided halftime knocked physical second
At halftime we decided we had to get physical with those guys. In the second half I thought we knocked them off their back.
difference drive game good half opening quick score second wind
The difference in the second half was two-fold. We executed better, and we made good use of our game plan, which was to score quick on the opening drive and take the wind out of their sails.
against committed football immature last numerous
Against BTW last year, we committed numerous turnovers and really we an immature football team.
