Opening Statement: “I’ll just open up real quick and then I’ll let you fire away. I’m certainly happy for the team. I’m very happy for Aaron Kromer and the job he’s been doing. There’s nothing better than getting your first win as a head coach. I’m proud of the way the defense played, certainly the way they rose up in the second (half). I was proud of what they did there. They stuck with it. I didn’t think it was always pretty in the way we did it. There were too many big plays, but we were able to overcome those explosive plays against us by creating some negative plays of our own. We had I think two tackles for losses, the five sacks helped and then certainly the turnover. When you can negate some of the issues you have early that certainly helps. I want to enjoy the win, but I think we all realize, certainly as coaches we do and we’ll be talking with the players here in a little bit, that we still have a long way to go defensively, so we’ll focus on what it is that we need to correct. Having said that, I’ll open it up.”

You mentioned being able to create those turnovers. This game, you seemed to be able to create those big plays more consistently. Can you talk about that?

“I think it was a combination of a couple of scheme things, the effort on the part of the players, certainly the front four at the end there getting to the quarterback when we really needed them to do that and we were trying to cover on the back end, the combination of all of that. There was what we would probably term one or two coverage sacks in there, certainly one of the earlier ones. That’s a credit to the secondary and the secondary coaches. That makes a huge difference. We want to eliminate the explosive plays that we gave them, but if that happens, you have to negate them.”
