His mindset and overall energy level seemed more consistent, if not his numbers - it was the smaller, more intangible things that made the difference... He played good defense and kept his mental lapses to a minimum... There was a spark of intensity in his eyes; he never cruised or took any plays off... Even when he wasn't helping us, he wasn't hurting us.
It was entirely a matter of iron-willed effort, and we're going to need that again if we want to repeat.
