Irish's march to CFP quarters fueled by NIU loss
Briefly

"There were some valuable lessons in that loss. It's this constant chase for improvement -- every week, every day -- that we have been able to make, and we still continue to have that mindset."
"We like it. We don't like that we lost, but we like the reminder. Keeping the pain with us -- it's a drive to be better."
"Coming off A&M, everyone was on a high. You get a little ego boost and you're like, 'Oh, NIU.' We didn't take preparation as important that game, and we got what we deserved."
