How have injuries affected the team?

Struggling to find depth. It’s had a major impact on special teams but it’s part of the game so we have to deal with what we are given.

Do you think the boys are prepared to face Clearfield?

Yes. I think we had a good week of practice. They are mentally focused and ready to go.

Is there anything that you are worried about for this game?

Their defense is really good. Their line comes up aggressive. Their linebackers really flow to the ball. Offensively, they have a lot of playmakers.

Have the players done anything extra to better themselves for this week, knowing that it is a big game?

Yeah, we put some extra time into film and have worked harder at practice including extra reps.

What are key points to winning this game?

Offensively, we have to be able to block them on pass protection. We need to take every yard we can get running the ball. Defensively, we need to stop their passing game to their skill guys and contain their run.

Do you think the team this year is better prepared for Clearfield than last year’s team?

I thought we were prepared last year. I think we prepared well both years but this year, they know we haven’t beat them for a few years.

Do you think the team is prepared to comfortably adjust to any new plays Clearfield comes up with?

Yeah, we always work different situations and things that might come up.
