CHRIS KLIEMAN, HEAD COACH
Opening Statement…
"Good afternoon, everyone. It was a good win for us on Saturday. We needed to have that feeling back. It had been a while since we celebrated in the locker room, but the guys know why we were successful. We talked a little bit about it on Saturday afternoon of better energy, better physicality, better emotion, all those things. Going back and looking at the film, we did some things a lot better. We have to clean up an awful lot of things on both sides of the ball and on special teams. I think part of our effort and physicality kind of bailed us out a few times, but we have to be better. We're getting too many explosive plays on defense, not getting as many right now on offense. I know we did get the big run with Dylan (Edwards), but we have to be a little bit more efficient on offense and get a few more explosive plays, and we cannot give up the amount of explosive plays as we are on defense. On the positive side, Simon (McClannan) is punting the ball extremely well, which is a big key for us in flipping field position. We were good in the red zone on offense, and we won the turnover margin, and that was huge for us to get three big turnovers."
