We bent a little bit, but didn't allow them to score on any of the three times they started with a short field in front of them." After reviewing the game tape and looking ahead to this Friday, he added, "Going into a big game with an extremely tough Fairfield team, it will be imperative to shore up some of those weaknesses and focus on playing a fundamentally sound football game."
