We brought some simulated pressures, but it didn't cause them many problems,"They knew where to go with it. (App State quarterback AJ Swann) is a good player, and kept them on schedule. He and the offensive and defensive lines were probably the difference in the game." 

know that you make your biggest jump from the first game to the second game,"We have a lot of things we have to clean up. Their hearts are hurting when you invest as much as they do; there will be disappointment. The sun is going to come up, and it's going to be our job as leaders of this staff to get them through it. They're going to show up, and they're going to be resilient."
