Mike Greene Game Quotations

I was pleased with our defense. I knew they had some big-play capability. They'll run at you and run at you and all the sudden they catch you asleep. We pretty much controlled their running game and their quarterback has a good arm and he's tough, but if you take him out of the equation, they're not so explosive. With the exception of those last two drives, I don't think they had too many passing yards.

We looked like it was our first game but I was proud of the effort. We looked better in the second half, but that's what I expect. Every quarter we will get better.

Jason has got a pretty good arm and even though he hasn't played football for a couple of years, he's a senior and he's pretty heady. It just didn't make sense to have him standing on the sideline. We wanted to use some of his leadership ability. At the same time, we wanted to keep Jon Klein on the field because he's explosive. Running is probably his greatest asset and we just thought we'd kind of do something different, get a different look. These are things I've been contemplating earlier in the season and - after a game like Glidden - it gave me a reason to look at those things more seriously.

I still feel like I can play the game ? and play safety.

It was a tough game for Megan. She actually went down in the fourth quarter and bruised her knee cap. We had some smaller players bumping her when she was in the air. They were a team that played pretty hard.

It's something we've needed. It's nice when you have someone to take that pressure off when a team's sole strategy is to take things away from Megan. That helps quite a bit. If there was a game we needed somebody to step up, it was that one and it was a tremendous effort on Julie's part.

I'm upset because I'm a competitor. I let my team down. I let myself down. But that's the way this game is. I know in my heart I'll bounce back.

The final score was not indicative of how we played the game. We controlled the game for the most part, especially defensively.
