Drink thanks fans for support for the game (I think it was around 45,000 fans).

He salutes Memphis but says he's proud of his team for finding a way to win.

Ennis Rakestraw was out due to an injury. Drink admits the team was pretty beat up.

He talks about how proud he is of Kirby Moore and Brady Cook. He's a tough player but he said he has to teach Brady how to slide. But he has a lot of praise for Cook's mental toughness.

He's disappointed in the offsides on the onside kick because they repped it all week.

He admits it was kind of a sloppy game. There were turnovers, a missed fourth and one conversion in the second half.

He praises Jordon Harris for some of his blocking today.

Luther Burden was cramping. They had to give him an IV.

He said they have to find way to throw Marquis Johnson the ball.

He said they have to dial in on third down they were 0-8.

Norfleet has a rib cartilage-type injury.

Darius Robinson has a strained calf. It gave out last week in the fourth quarter and this week it was the first. So, it's a lingering injury.

He said bad man-to-man coverage is what explains all the fourth-down conversions.

Drink said they made a concerted effort to run the ball in the first half and did a great job.

Drink said the difference for this team is that they've been through adversity and they know how to handle it.

He said Norwood was playing well before he got hurt. It's an ankle sprain but he doesn't know if it's a high ankle sprain. He couldn't put any weight on it after halftime.

He said Luke Bauer punted the crap out of the ball and he will be the starter going forward.
