Thoughts from Coach Bowen

"Following up a very emotional rivalry win, I thought our guys perform very well.  They executed in all phases.  It was a very businesslike approach to the game.  We were excited that we were able to get in everybody that was dressed on the sideline.  Everybody contributed to the win.  It is nice to have a week off with the bye, and then we can get back at it in two weeks."

Up Next

Arizona Christian will return to action on October 22 at Texas College.  Kick-off will come bright and early at 9:00 am (Arizona time).
