Still have vivid memories of my freshman year fall camp, and the start of my college FB journey.
Move in, run test, meetings, practices, new teammates, naps, dining hall, etc.
Life/football is a journey, not a destination. Excited to start the journey with our team in 3 weeks!
After watching the offensive film from last night, we made mistakes but also made a lot of plays. The most important thing is that we kept playing, got back in the game, and battled until the end. A lot to build on! Excited to continue to coach this great group!
