"I don’t think it helped that we only had 10 minutes," Amidon said. "A couple plays got stuffed and we had a couple runs for a loss, and I guess we just didn’t get enough drives to really get going. It was tough. When we do get the ball against a team like this, we’ve got to start faster."

"I definitely like being out there and being a target for (Rettig)," Pantale said. "My goal today was go out there and make plays in the red zone, and the one I should have made the first time.
