I knew what was going to happen before the game even started. I think most of the guys did.
It cost us a couple games early, but then guys started fighting for each other. We could have had a lot better season.
The guys take more pride in this game, take pride in going out and working hard at practice and enjoying being around each other. It will be a whole different environment, a whole different game this year.
I just remember they whipped our behinds. I knew it was going to happen before the game even started. I think most guys did, too. A lot of guys didn't care. They thought, 'Oh, we're just playing Iowa.' It felt like they didn't deserve to be here anyway.
We haven't won a bowl game since 2001, so I think it's an important game for the program, and an important game for the seniors just to go out with a win. We came in with a (bowl) win and haven't won one since.
