COACH JON GIN'S COMMENTS
It was a great team win. We started off slow, but came out of halftime with better defensive pressure that really helped us create some easy offense. We've struggled closing out tight games, but I liked how we finished [on Saturday]. We stayed aggressive and got key stops when we needed them.
