The defense did a great job of getting turnovers. The only thing disappointing to me about the defense is at times we were unable to stop the run.
More Quotes from Sylvester Croom:

Last February, one of the first major decisions he had to make as coach was determining the fate of leading returning rusher Nick Turner , whohadstruggled academically and had plead guilty to passing counterfeit money. Croom ultimately dismissed Turner from the team but allowed him to keep his scholarship for the spring semester so he could leave the school in good academic standing. If a kid doesn't get that degree, it's going to affect him, his family, the kids he's going to have, ... That's a heavy burden to have. I agonized over that decision for a week.
