I would have to say I was more pleased with the defense today. They did a great job of not staying blocked very long, of flying around and making plays. On the offensive side of things, we ran the ball very well in long yardage situations.
More Quotes from Don Patterson:

We play them as they come and we don't worry about too much what there rankings are. We weren't ranked and we almost played a really good game against Southern.
