Dale Steele's Quote
"The positive was that I thought the offense executed efficiently
but just not consistently.
The two things that upset me more than anything today were the
turnovers and the penalties. We talked about three things all week
long: We talked about
giving an effort and I believe we did give effort. We talked about execution, which we
executed in spots, but we didn't execute enough. And we talked about belief, and we've
got to overcome that feeling; we've got to start believing when the
game's in the balance that we can win."
