This was a big win for this team. This will do a lot for the confidence of these guys. A whole lot.

McKinley has been doing some good things. But there's still a lot of work to be done. That's the way it is with all of these guys.

He'll be a player for us. He's a young guy, so we'll have to get him in here and see how he does. But with our situation, he'll have a shot.

We wanted to make it a little more interesting. We won't use a lot of the starters out there for long. We'll let them get a few snaps in and pull them out. We want to make sure everybody gets a chance to play and we don't have any serious injuries. That's why we split it up like we did.

That was a big key for us. That drive was what we've been looking for out of our line. We were able to move the ball down the field, control the clock and maintain control of the game. Without it, we're probably looking at another shootout.

We need to make sure we've got the guys out there who want it the most.

It won't at all be an accurate gauge of what people will see next season. We want to have a good afternoon, not get anybody hurt and give these young guys a chance to play. But it won't be an indication of anything, really.

There's just too much going on right now to try to do that. I'll wait and see what I've got and go through some resumes at that time.

I'm pleased with how far we've come. I'm not happy with where we are. I think we need to get better. As a coach, you're never completely happy. You want that perfection. You know you're probably not going to get it, but you want it. And I want it out of our guys.

Last year, when these receivers would catch passes, they would take them the distance. This year, we stopped them. That was the difference in the ballgame. When we had the opportunity to make a tackle, we made it.
