They didn 't allow our offense to get in sync." -Higgins ^"Certainly there were some positives out there. The last drive, the conversions on fourth down and some individuals played well.

I caught it with my right hand." - Senior defensive lineman Rich Owens on the final blocked extra point. *"We were just trying to get a first down. It was an out pattern.'- - Junior wide receiver Brian Klingerman on the go-ahead touchdown reception. *"We were in man to man defense and I knew the tight end was their big play man.
