It's tough to try to come back from 0-2 in Class D. It would definitely be a struggle. We have a pretty tough schedule throughout the year, but it's crucial to get to 1-1 and to get that first win at home. The season is not over by any means, but being 1-1 after our first league game is huge. It's a big game for us.

They had an excellent game last week. They are one of those really good teams that do a lot of things well and work together as a team.

We need to do our jobs. That is the biggest thing. We need to hang on to the football and make our blocks. Football is a pretty basic sport and we didn't get the basics done last week. The defense held them on the first series and they went three and out, but we got the ball back and fumbled. The offense needs to get their jobs done.

Definitely, he is a very good athlete. He has the potential to take over a game, but they are one of those teams where you have to pick your spots. It's not only Perkins, it's (tailback Andrew) Taylor, it's (fullback Matt) Morris, it's (running back Nick) Covert. They are a very balanced team.

They are excited about being in front of the home crowd. They are really ready. They get up for every game, especially the first home game and especially with a quality team like Bolivar coming in.
