Quote of the Day
"It's been fun. These guys truly love football. That's a start. It's hard to have a fresh start without having the energy, the motivation, and the glimmer in their eyes. So, it's refreshing to see those guys, we got a couple of guys off the portal, and the room right now is anxious to continue to get on the field and in the film room to improve, so, for a coach, that's always a blessing. Today we got some live-action and we're going to look at the film pretty closely and assess it from there, but I think the biggest thing is our identity is going to be forged by the guys in that room. Our physicality, effort, and finish is going to be a critical piece of that." - Coach Salave'a.
