"It's hard to put into words how you feel. It was not a fun game for me at all. There's a lot of players over there that I care a great deal for. It was a very difficult game for me.
"It's a lot worse because I don't think we played as well as we can on offense. You've got to give them a lot of credit. Their defensive staff did a great job against us, and we just didn't get it done.
"Our field position was not good the entire ball game, and hasn't been all year.
"We didn't hit a big play today, and that hurt us. That's a credit to uddy (Green) and his staff. They did a good job of playing pretty soft back there in the secondary and taking the deep ball away.
"We took the approach coming in that we would try to run the football at them and try to make them stop us. For the most part, we did a pretty good job with it. We just weren't consistent enough with it.
"I want to look back at the play calling. I think I made some mistakes. There are some things I'd like to have back in some third-down situations. It was a combination of a lot of things."
