Before the game, defensive tackle Carl Marek said, “Running plays are one of our weaknesses and tackling is one of our best.” Marek says to become a better player, have a hard-working mentality and go to the gym. Marek believes, “The most important positions are o line and d line.”

Outside linebacker Ryan Collins said,  “We were struggling on our 1 on 1 tackling but come next Friday and we’ll be ready. We will come into the game better prepared mentally and more disciplined.” Ryan also explained, “ The hardest part about the games was their quarterback, he was a very good scrambler,” and “ there was nothing that could have made us play better because I always put my best foot forward as well as my team.”
