HEAD COACH JEROD MAYO

JM: Good afternoon. So as always, win, lose or draw, on Wednesdays, it’s all about changing the page. My message to the team today is really just about a sense of urgency, a sense of urgency in everything that we do. We have a huge test coming up, another road game going out to Chicago.
