WHAT THEY'RE SAYING:
"We had a great team win today. To come back after a tough loss last week where it's easy to feel down and question yourself and wonder 'who are we', we set the tone right away today. Kicker puts it into the end zone for a touchback, defensive gets the three and out, then went right down the field and punched it in on offense. And that made the statement that one game doesn't define us, this is who we are, we're going to continue to fight and we battled today as a team for the victory." - head coach Kevin Gilmartin
