I think playing Duke helped us become a better football team, and that's what it's all about. This game helped us get better in our conference and the remainder of our season.

We've got to do something to take them out of their rhythm of running the football and make them throw it a little bit more than they did against Marshall.

It's big. We just really needed a win.

The rest of the (Big South) teams got to go out and beat a top 20 team. We need to do our share and get a reputation that we are a good football conference.

He [Mason] got caught up in the excitement of having a chance to beat a No. 13 team, but the way college football is now, you can't celebrate. [If] we don't get that penalty, we have a three-yard shot at a two-point play [that] ties it up and throws it into overtime. I like our chances in overtime at home.

Losing 40-14 to Duke [last week], that's a tough loss. When you lose 28-26, that's even tougher because you knew you had a shot to win it.

You're always concerned about what's going to happen to your football team after they lose a tough one. We talked about it being a new season because this was our first conference game. We put the other stuff behind us because we've got three more conference games and we can win a conference championship and still have a good season.

We were ahead by 15 at halftime and I wasn't sure if it was going to be enough with this bunch. But I felt good about the way we handled the second half.

We've got a chance to play for a conference championship and a chance to play for a winning season.
