CHRIS KLIEMAN, HEAD COACH

Opening Statement…

“Good afternoon, everyone. Going back and looking at the film, I thought our guys played really well. I thought we played really hard. I thought we made some good strides in a number of areas. There are still some things that we have to keep working on and keep improving. The open week for us comes at a really good time. We had talked early in the season that we’d have four weeks of camp, and then five weeks of games. Then we’d get a break, and then we’d have four weeks of games. So, this is a really good time. We’ve got a lot of guys banged up and some older players that just kind of need a break. Then we need to develop some guys, and we need to continue to work on some areas that we need to improve on.”
