With standout quarterback Steve Sarkisian gone, however, their attack is now more balanced and perhaps more dangerous. If we don't stop their running game though, it'll be a long day. We need to keep their offense off the field and find ways to put points on the board. While those numbers may not be very inspiring, the defense has recently shown the ability to cause the turnovers and make the big plays. This improvement is especially impressive because only two seniors are starting due to others' injuries.
Inexperience is a cause of concern.
Every game is huge, and just one loss can put you out of the race. We've got to come together fast. We should be ready. Hatfield also remains optimistic. We're not a dominant team, so we need to hustle and struggle.
