RAFAEL BUSH

On his interception return for a touchdown: “I was just running to the ball like we do every day at practice. You know, we got our hands on a lot of balls this week in practice and it kind of correlated in the game, so I credit that to preparation this week in practice.”

On if he feels like the defense is trending in the right direction: “We just want to continue to get better at the little things, the details. Coach Caldwell  is very big on that, so we’re just trying to continue to get better at the little things each and every day and just try to come out here and not only play hard and fast, but also play smart.”

On this team not worrying about trailing in the fourth quarter: “We’ve just got to fight for 60 minutes. You know, this game is hard, wins don’t come easy. That is a very talented team and they have a lot of weapons, so coming off the Bye Week we understand that they were going to come here and give us their best punch. Like I said, they’ve got a lot of weapons and we accepted the challenge. We just want to go out there and continue to improve on the little things and fight for 60 minutes.”
