“For these seniors and these guys that have been in our program for four years, it was a nice win at home,” said McCoy. “This is also two wins in a row, that’s good, and we need this motivation going into next week and then certainly going into the first round of the playoffs.

“We have 14 seniors, and they have been a pleasure to be around. They are fun to coach, and they take the game of football serious.”
