We were awful in the first half,”It’s as bad as I’ve ever seen us. We were awful on offense. We did some good things on defense early and then stayed out there too long and let ‘em score.

A lot of things weren’t clicking and it all starts with me,”

We had some times we lined up wrong. I’ve got to do a better job making better decisions and checking out of things. It starts with me.”

“I’ve got to sit down with my family and make some decisions,”

“At the end of the day, going to Carolina, playing in Carolina blue has meant the world to me, been a dream come true. It didn’t finish out the right way but I may have another chance to do that.”
