This was a great defensive effort by both teams. The real difference was that the Lakers failed to make plays that they had consistently made throughout the season. Boyle did an excellent job avoiding the blocks in the run game, and Russell did an excellent job on defense.

No one would have ever expected that we would have missed the extra point and two FGs even though one was 50+ yards. Nonetheless, we had opportunities throughout the game and just didn't get it done. I'm just glad that it wasn't for lack of effort, our guys left it all on the field and just ran out of clock.

Hats of to Boyle, tonight you were the better team.
