You hope you can fix it with the personnel that you have. On offense, we are doing some great things, but we did not execute. This group of men that I represent likes to work hard.

I think we are trying to improve for next week. Period. I do not think anybody is thinking about anything else.

I'maa tell you right now as an experience, dammit, I'm going to enjoy that one as much as I hate to admit it.

The team is never about the single player. It's not about the injury that keeps a star out of a certain game, and it's not about the coach. It's about the strength, and the abilities of the sum.

I do not think the crowd affected us, but the position of being in a big time game may well have affected us.

Congratulations to the Auburn team and coach Malzahn. The piece for us was that we took some first and ten's and could not get a third down conversion. We kept putting the defense on the field. We tackled, we played hard, but offensively we did not execute. We are a work in progress. Certainly a group of men that are committed to fixing things. But frankly we did not get it done today.

Ted, damned if I'm not impressed with your candor!
