They Said It
Head Coach Carl Reynolds
On the match
"Just unbelievably proud of the guys. This weekend, we've shown two sides to ourselves. We've shown that we can play and that we're tactically astute, but I think we're showing now that we can do the ugly parts of the game as well, which I think took the first two or three games of the season to learn those lessons, but I just said to the guys enjoy this weekend. We want more of these weekends and we've come here to change the culture and I think it's slowly changing, but game-by-game we've got to go again next Friday."
 
Looking ahead to West Alabama
"We want to rest up and enjoy today. They haven't been able to enjoy too many of these weekends over the last few years, so we will definitely want to enjoy it and then we'll come back in Tuesday and prepare for West Alabama, who are going to be extremely difficult. It's going to be another battle and we're going to have to be at our best to get anything out of it."
