Head Coach Brent Pry
About the red zone defense so far this season:
“Well, first of all, I think it’s the mindset that coach Chris Marvais and they created with our unit. Unfortunately, I was around the defense, but unfortunately , there were times when we stumbled in those situations. But our group really falls flat. “Someone can drive down the field and we need to force field goals and takeaways. And we’re lucky so far. ”
About Wilfried Pene’s development and recent productions:
“I’d say I’m a little surprised. He’s always been very determined. He’s had a lot of things holding him back. But he’s had a few steady weeks during camp this fall. “He’s really smart and can maximize his potential. he has great athletic ability. ”
