COACH CARTER COLLINS'S COMMENTS

I'm definitely happy with our effort [on Saturday]. I thought that we did a really good job of pushing the pace to a style that we were happy with and can really excel at. We have a lot of really talented offensive players, and sometimes the best thing to do as coach is encourage them to play fast and stay aggressive, and that's basically what I've been doing for the last several weeks. Defensively, I think we can still improve, but our effort was definitely there. It's a fun group to coach right now. We need to stay locked in and keep improving to make sure we have the opportunity to reach our goals.
