Thoughts from Coach Bowen
"Proud of the team for the win. We left some points on the field and we gave up some plays but overall the guys had a solid effort all day. The offense was able to establish the run game. And defense did a great job of getting them off the field. We are glad to be back in the win column. Now we will get ready for SAGU next week."
