"Extremely happy for our group of guys and our coaching staff, to go out and play. For an entirety of a game we played really, really well. We played really well," said Head Coach Marcus Freeman.

"Our offense went out there and executed. We scored on a lot of drives and that all starts with our o-line. Our O-lineman has played and worked so hard and Coach Hiestand gets them in a great position to be able to go out there and succeed and those guys play their tails off for our backs and myself and for our whole team and I think, it's just an all around great team win," said Quarterback Drew Pyne.
