Coach Talk

Vandals
These types of narrow victories can be paramount for team chemistry. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit group... expect the Vandals locker room to really gel riding into Week 2.
ExigentCircumstances
A single missed field goal isn't usually a reason to get upset. But come on now, talk about impeccable timing: Greg Zuerlein goes 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and ExigentCircumstances loses the matchup by 1.35 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
