That was the longest ordsprog

That was the longest game I have ever been a part of. It's always long when you're trying to close out a game, but we didn't put it away at the line.

It was a frustrating day because we had so much on the line and really didn't come out and give our best effort. That's the worst part. You want to go out there and play your best football and we really didn't come close to that. I thought our defense kept us in the game, but we didn't help them out very much.

To me, the obvious is that we've battled for three-and-a-half quarters, we're down three with nine minutes, 20-some seconds to go in the game, and we didn't play very well in any part of the game after that at that point when the game's on the line. What you don't want is guys looking for excuses. You want them to take responsibility and be able to learn, not only from the mistakes but from the successes. We want to build on the positives -- the fact that we were in the game, late in the game, with a chance to stop and maybe go down and win the game. Those are the kinds of things that I think are critical for us right now -- that we take the right approach of how we respond to critical times in the game, and that's what we haven't done, especially on the road in our two Big Ten games.

Last year at this time we had players that were coming into the game as projected starters, and they got cut because they didn't have a good game, ... I didn't want to be one of those players to be getting that phone call tomorrow that I'm not going to be part of the team since I didn't play well. I just tried to leave everything on the line and just play.

This is exactly what we didn't want to have happen. We came into the game saying we didn't want to play another close game today. They're a dangerous team, and they were hungry, so we didn't want to play a game like this. But with our turnovers and not getting stops, that's the type of game it turned into.

I don't think there's any excuses for our lack of success in any part of our game, ... We didn't execute that part of our game. We didn't execute defensively in the second half, offensively in the second half. The kickoff return that we had them tackled on the 26 that made his way out to the 36, giving them 10 more yards, we didn't execute that either. So, there are no excuses whatsoever in any part of our game. Including missed field goals.

Kwame didn't do all that bad on that side, ... In the run game as well as the pass game. Now was that a perfect game? No. But like I said, the biggest strength we had was in the running game, offensive-line wise.

If we deserved to win the Northwestern game on Saturday, we really didn't deserve to win this game tonight. We really didn't play very well. We made a couple of bad plays defensively and that really hurt us. But the bottom line is that we didn't play a good game.

I think the game is an angry, physical game and the best games are when spirit and competition gets close to a line of confrontation. Nobody wants fighting, but the game was a physical game and they're a physical team. I thought our guys did a good job standing up to their presence.

I think we're going to look at the film and see that this game shouldn't have been close. If we didn't make those mistakes and get points, then this game is not close. "Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention.

I've felt like we were going to win every game. It was just like we were so close every game. It seemed like we were getting closer and closer to the finish line. We were finally able to complete that race and get across that line.

It was a tough loss and a hard fought game. It was a very competitive game. I thought it was very fitting the way the game ended. We had so many close games all season long. We won a bunch of them in that fashion.

They're very athletic, and they run the floor. They have tough-minded guys and they never give up. Even when you have a lead, they always find a way to come back. It's an ACC game and it's going to be a close game I'm sure. We're just going to have to be consistent throughout the game; we can't have long periods where we don't score.

It looked to me like we had the balls delivered where they were supposed to be, we had the right patterns called, and we didn't execute or make the catch. When the game is on the line, we talk about who can you count on when the game counts, and we didn't come up with a play to win the game or at least a play to keep the drive going.
