“Better taste in our mouth after this one,” coach Curt Cignetti said, comparing it to last week’s game. “Got the shutout on defense, played a lot of people, emptied the bench, shortened the fourth quarter. We started to dominate up front, It started on offense and defensively it got to the point where they really couldn’t block us. The only issue was we couldn’t tackle their quarterback occasionally.”
