"This one hurts bad. We did a lot of good things," Martin said. "They're a good football team; we jumped on them and got them back on their heels…we had them on the ropes…

We had a chance to beat a really good football team. We did enough good things to do it, and then we did enough bad things that negated our good things. That's where we're at; we've got to keep plugging away. A lot of positives today, which makes it way more frustrating."
