Coachs Remarks
"Our offensive line did really well today. North Park blitzed us a few times, and our line did a great job reading it and picking it up. It opened up our run game on the day, allowing Nasir Canty to have the game he did. He is getting better and better every week. Our defense is also improving every week. The last two weeks, they have done a good job getting off the field and causing turnovers."
