Coach Talk

Steel Reign
Listen, Steel Reign, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes real guts to play a starter with zero points (Michael Gallup), while still getting the win! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it in the postseason and we'll be toast.
WarEagle
Don't beat yourself up too badly, WarEagle! Look, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes three extra points can just magically appear out of thin air... and then in some cases, like this week, they don't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you gave it your best shot.
