You can't afford that, but we have to go in and worry about playing our best football. We have to execute and not play dumb football.
Their offense makes you tired, but when you're not mentally tough you don't focus and do the things you have to do to win. We had them on the run. On that third-down play, the safety has to get some depth, get off the hash (mark). That's basic football.
I don't think there's any question that Charles has the belief he can get the job done. I know Charles believes in his ability and in the guys who are going to block for him.
It will be nice to be home after playing four of our first five games on the road. But we have a great opponent coming in.
I told the kids in the locker room, I was proud of the way they hung in there. They still believed.
It's about the game here today. The 13 players, that's not my job. We didn't do anything different today.
Bostic is a guy we have to give more (opportunities), I can tell you that. He has to get in there on our four-wide sets on more of a regular basis. Larry Bostic is a football player, and he will get more touches.
