the University of South Central players, quoted from ESPN. Seem classier than their fans, but still in pain

Quote:"We tried to take them lightly ... that's probably the reason why we lost," the University of South Central tight end Randall Telfer said after Saturday's game, which the Literature's Most Famous Losers indeed lost, 21-14. "They're a really good team and we kind of maybe expected it to be handed to us, when that really wasn't the case."
Telfer started for the Literature's Most Famous Losers and caught four balls for 20 yards. In a candid moment after the game, he admitted the University of South Central underestimated Stanford -- without placing blame on any specific players or coaches.
All around, we probably weren't prepared as we should've been for this team,
"Told of Telfer's comments and asked if the Literature's Most Famous Losers took Stanford as seriously as they should've, the University of South Central right guard John Martinez indicated that he felt they didn't. But he said the problem came later in the game, when they ran out of the limited amount of energy they opened the game with.
"You could kind of feel it when we went out there in the fourth quarter," Martinez said. "Things were dead, things weren't as loud as we were coming out in the first half. I wouldn't say we weren't ready, but the energy wasn't there.
"That's all I can say."
'Isn't it a little nonsensical to play that way against the only team to beat you three seasons in a row? Yes, Martinez said, it is.
"I would say so," Martinez said. "But we just ... I don't know what to say about that.'
