Gee, I hope we play Central this week, ... I think it would be a good thing.

It looked like we had a good inside, outside combination going on. Their defense limited us to just a few basic plays. Of course they're very good basic plays. When we handled the ball, and things like that, they went well for us.

There was good, there was bad and there was ugly. I think we've got to clean up the bad and ugly. I thought we looked like we were in good shape. Some of the early year problems we've got under control. Some of the other early-year problems we don't have under control.

Defensively, we really bowed up. We knew they were going to make a run at us. It's their home stadium. They're a good football team. We knew we'd have to weather their storm.

I've been around long enough to know that football only occupies a portion of what I do in life,

Thursday was tough because our players got so upset and disappointed because we couldn't play Baker. I reminded them that in the overall scheme of things one game is just that, a game. I told them it (game) was in the hands of a higher authority. It was more important for our police officers in Baker and Zachary to be in New Orleans helping to save lives.

We need to play no matter what classification either team is. It's been a good, healthy rivalry and it's very convenient for both teams since we're so close to each other.

That's the kind of team you want to play. They're going to play hard, they're going to be good and well coached.
