If we stay healthy, we have a chance to be kind of an exciting football team.

Coming after the inflation report last week, GDP is likely to be revised higher. It will give the pound a push, fueling the argument for no rate cut this year.

(Fargo South) hasn't been even slowed down yet, much less stopped. They're putting up bushels of points, so we need to go out and clearly play our best defensive football game of the year.

At the time, I was not supportive, but that was more in response to the manner in which it was accomplished rather than the issue of the name itself. It was not intended or used in a derogatory manner. However, there obviously were those who were offended by its use. Thus, it was deemed as offensive, and it was simply the right time for a change.

They're one of the top two or three teams in the state, without a doubt.

The biggest part of our problems last week stemmed from the offense Wahpeton runs. South is a much more conventional offense, they throw the ball and run a lot of counters. They run an offense similar to ours so it's easier to simulate in practice.

We started this game with some players on the sidelines (injured) that we thought would make the difference. The guys who stepped in there played their hearts out. It was a great team effort.

We've been able to move the ball effectively all season, but we haven't faced a defense like South's. We need to mix up the run and pass and just improve on what we do well.
