They said it
“We just got beat up front on both sides of the football. They’re a physical, fast football team. We just didn’t play very well tonight, but they had a lot to do with that. They’ve got a good football team. When you play good football teams you can’t make mistakes and you’ve got to be physical. Like I said, we just got beat up front on both sides of the football.” - Georgetown coach Ken Cribb
“I think we definitely improved. We got a little better the longer we played. The kids hung in there and kept fighting after a slow start and I’m proud of them for that. Like I said, we just ran into a little bit better football team tonight. You’ve got to tip your hat to them, learn a less and move on.” - Cribb

“The kids played really well. We rushed for probably 300 yards. It was a battle all the way to the end. I mean, even the nine-point spread doesn’t do it justice. It was a nip-and-tuck game.” - GSF coach Donnie Kiefer
“I’m just really proud of them because of all of the adversity and having to get rid of some players and stuff like that they could have quit. But we actually ended up getting better. We were way better at the end than we were [earlier in the season]. I just credit our coaching staff and our players with staying positive and continuing to fight.” - Kiefer
“The good news is we’ve got the majority of the team back. We’re only losing five seniors and not all of them were starters. It looks good for the future, I’ll say that. We’ve just got to make sure we keep everybody intact for the whole season and I think good things are on the horizon.” - Kiefer
