Last year, playing (games) like this, it was what I called a feeding frenzy. Everybody pushed up, there was no shape and we just tried to bang away. This time, we were still working on stuff, pulling the ball back around and trying to create space. I think that shows some maturity and that's what we tried to do.

We talked about playing good passes to the feet and keeping the ball out of the air. Truthfully, that's the way we play best, when we just one-touch the ball around the everybody's moving into spots. That was fun.

Last week we were frustrated (against Abilene Cooper) but not (Friday). We knew this was a good team and we just told them to keep the ball on the ground and keep playing.

Any time that we get a shutout, that's kind of like a team thing. We believe that the offense needs to control the ball to keep the pressure off the defense.
