"I couldn't be prouder of these guys," said Paladin head coach  Doug Allison . "They didn't panic when we fell behind and they showed tremendous resilience today. All five guys stepped up and converted their penalties just like we had practiced. Also, how about these fans! Our students came back from Thanksgiving to support us en masse, and our fans and alumni were great."
