I feel in many ways Matt was less prepared and had more reasons to be nervous and blow it -- make beginner's mistakes -- in that game than he's likely to in this game against Georgia Tech. At that time, that was a big game. And he didn't blow it.

(Clarksville) basically controlled the game with our field position. Our two turnovers killed us and they simply capitalized on our fumbles, but we couldn't seem to capitalize on theirs.

(Clarksville) controlled the game. They played a good ballgame. We didn't play real well offensively. Defensively we did all right, but we had a couple of spots with a little bit of letdown that they were able to capitalize on.

They look right, but they don't have that wonderful flavor.

They're like manna from heaven, but they pop up out of the earth.

They knew what they were getting into. I told them if they go into it with a positive attitude they would be OK. It is more mental than physical for most guys.

We'll have to establish our running game and we'll also have to contain them on defense. We can't give up quick scores and we've got to make them use up some clock.

Part of it is just that they taste so wonderful.

Jason got hurt again in practice last week and missed three days. He played pretty well in the second half against Clarksville and we're confident that he'll be all right to start against Bentonville.

Having no penalties for us, that was just huge. We were down late in the game and our kids were still flying around to the football trying to make anything happen. That effort and positive attitude is what is going to help us throughout our season.
