Quote of the Night
"I think we've gotten better as a football team. A lot of good stuff today on both offense and defense. We did a few things in the kicking game but we'll do more of that next week. We ran 98 plays today, threw it 58 times, ran it 40. So, we were able to get some good balance in there and do a lot of drills to see if we can keep getting better. First time out in a full scrimmage atmosphere so that was good to see." - Head Coach Jedd Fisch.
