(On the win…)
“I felt we did more than enough to get the three points, I felt we were the better team tonight. But, incredibly proud of my guys. Had to overcome so much adversity, and challenges. Not just heading into tonight, but then guys playing out of position, needing to make some adjustments on the fly as well. But we don’t miss a beat, the mentality of this team is impressive. And I’m proud of them for that.”
(On the defensive lineup…)

Then he’s going to the left and then coming to the right, PC had to start… that’s a lot of moves in the back. But we didn’t miss a beat, and that’s impressive. In my eyes, that’s highly impressive.
