Dominique Easley had some choice words after the game, and I found them rather poetic and apt.

We wanted to hurt them, we wanted them to feel the pain that we felt last year. We had hurt in our heart, so we wanted them to feel that same thing.

Them boys was huffing and puffing, I was looking in people's eyes and they were scared. That's what we wanted. We wanted to take somebody's will. We like to take people's will, not just win the game. Make them remember this night.
