COACH BARRY NORTON'S COMMENTS: "I thought we played pretty good against Greenville. There was some good energy there. We gave them a short field and big penalty after a turnover on one of their scores. One of their scores was a great catch. We did some good things defensively. The kicking game was solid, I thought our coverage was good. It was a better effort on our part. Offensively, we spread the ball around and got a lot of guys involved. Our running backs did a tremendous job. Devuntay (Walker) had over a 100 yards rushing, and Markese (Martin) had the scores. They compliment each other real well. It was a good homecoming win."
