Coach Denton's Thoughts on the Upcoming Game ...
"We are looking forward to getting back on track with our two games at home this week."

"Sunday will be a special day on campus as we celebrate our seniors in the game vs Georgia Southern. This is always a great event, and we want a positive performance and result against a team who is on a roll with some great results. It will be another tough game and we have to be ready to play for the 90 minutes. The depth of our team will be tested over this weekend and we are all looking forward to the games ahead."
