First off, you’ve got to give them credit. They beat us in every area today. They beat us on offense, beat us on defense, and beat us on special teams. We got off to a good start offensively down the field. When you have a penalty that takes away points off the board, we got a delay on the field goal and got the field goal blocked; it was one thing after another in that first part. Defensively we did some good things early, but then Ben escaped us, he gets it off to the receiver; he gets the ball across the middle. They made some plays where we didn’t tackle very well in the second quarter. We had kicking game errors that put us really behind. I wish I could say much more, but the game was basically over in the second quarter. We never were able to get back in in the third quarter like we expected.
