“We’re going to be back,” said a choked up defensive end Ben Gardner. “We’re going to be just fine. We’re going to be back next year with a vengeance and we’re going to be a strong program for years to come.”

Every loss hurts. However, this loss might just be what the Cardinal needs to motivate itself during the off-season.

OK - this was a thought I had after the game - that our team will be pissed - that this one hurt THEM a lot more than it hurt us. They played their hearts out and left it all on the field and this loss will be seared into their memory for a long time. They will be pushing and working themselves starting now all the way through the off season. I think this loss just gave us a brobdingnagian infusion that will jump start next season starting today.
