The difference is the little things. The little things that determine whether you win or lose.

Carter has become a weapon for us with his kicks.

If not for Lands' return, we'd have been backed up. And that would have probably been it.

The big thing was we didn't play well ... but we came out with a victory, which is always a positive.

At halftime, we challenged the kids. We weren't executing on offense. After our first drive, we didn't score, and the fumble hurt us.

Both of Michael's long passes to Sullivan were nice throws. And Sullivan made the catches.

We've got to be better defensively. And if we're going to be good defensively, it all starts up front.

Michael has a strong arm, and is getting better with his ball-fakes. He spent last year away from the position, so there's still some rust that needs shaking.

Our offensive line is perhaps our most experienced area. It's a good group.

Our offensive linemen have decent size. The 2000 state championship team averaged 260 pounds up front. We're pretty close to that average (257 pounds) this year.
