They showed great heart and toughness, and they battled and fought. It's all just random things that have happened.

It's one of those things that we got a bunch of guys banged up tonight and that's been a part of this season so far. Our defense was on the field way too much in the second half because we didn't establish or sustain drives there offensively. Ultimately to come up short like that was just incredibly disappointing and you've got to give credit to them and for what they did and how they executed, but it's a football team and staff that that I just hurt for them and hurt with them, but just disappointing that we came up short in that one. It was just everything that could go wrong really in that second half really showed up.

They did a great job of changing up a few things, creating some pressures, they made tackles when they needed to make them, they were able to defend the pass, they were able to get some some positive gains there in the run game, had a couple of explosives that showed up, a couple of penalties that assisted drives moving down the field. For us to come out in the second half and we we just had missed opportunities. You know, I just told the team that that outcome is 100% on me. Ultimately, we made a lot of mistakes there in the second half that we've got to be able to overcome and it's everybody. It was a college football game that, it was tough, I mean it was a physical game.

Throughout the game there were so many swings - swings of emotion, swings of momentum. That is a locker room, staff, football team that's hurting. To come out and the work and the investment that was put in. They did a really good job there, and especially in the second half, coming back and being able to make the plays that were necessary to win the game. Alright, first off, congratulations to NC State.
