If the defense breathed a sigh of relief after the win…
Yeah, of course. We felt like we haven't put a full game together as a defense, and I feel like we did that tonight. They were on us all week about doing what we need to do: just doing your job and playing fast, like we always say. It showed tonight. We finally put a full game together, and it was awesome to play out there with those guys tonight.
On Devon Marshall…
Six played his tail off tonight. He definitely helped us a ton. He's a vet. He stepped up and helped us out a lot, but it's always tough when guys go down, especially [Jamel Johnson], one of our brothers. Guys stepped up. You saw it tonight, especially with Devon. He played his tail off, so it was great.
On having familial bragging rights…
It's awesome. [Tom Fordham] played there. [Corbyn Fordham is] committed there now, so it's awesome to get a win against them.
On having control when Tommy Castellanos wasn’t scrambling…
Early in the game, [there were] a couple times [where a] couple of the rush lanes kind of got out of whack, and he was able to get out. The dude's talented. He's really athletic, so he can hurt you with his feet. In the second half, we went in and made some adjustments. The D-line adjusted perfectly. He wasn't able to scramble nearly as much in the second half, and we found way more success with that.
