"I kept trying to make plays, make things happen, when the plays weren't there, " said somber Jarrett Lee, as he rocked back and forth, his back to the wall, in his purple windbreaker.
He wasn't dodging being the center of attention, in a negative way, as he has been all season, this time in front of 93,039, the largest crowd in Tiger Stadium history.
Lee just kept talking, just kept speaking his mind.
"I feel sorry for our fans because I know how bad they want us to win, " he said. "I know a lot of people think I can't make it at this level, but I still want the ball in my hands, I want to be out there.
"I know I get too excited sometimes, but growing up is part of the process I guess, " he said.
"We've got a great football team, we had guys open all night, and I didn't do a good job, " he said.
Lee was heading home shortly, to do what he has always done after a game -- talk to his father, his high school coach, about what went right, and wrong, on Saturday.
