Aaron Brooks Win Quotations

They were just bringing it. They brought pressure, and we couldn't escape it. I had to keep throwing it away. That's the most pressure I've seen in a while. It was a great scheme. We didn't respond well and they limited our big-play opportunities. We didn't get back into it until the fourth quarter, and that was way too late.

The team camaraderie we built, guys knowing their roles and not expecting too much from themselves, has helped. Guys are not getting ahead of themselves and they're understanding what's expected of them at every position. It's made everybody's job easier. That's what's made us a better football team.

Any time they've got No. 4 on their football team, anything can happen. They could have an eight-game winning streak from here on out, so I'm not really too concerned about that. I'm only concerned about us as a football team going up there and trying to get a victory.

As a football team, we're not looking for any handouts, ... We know it's going to be difficult, we know it's going to be hard. We're going to be fine and we're not going to use this as a crutch and say, 'Feel sorry for us and let us win this football game.' We're going to remain true to ourselves, stay as one as a football team.
