This bye week, according to head coach Jay Sawvel, couldn’t have come at a more perfect time after his team has been battered and beaten through their first five games, where they only recently managed to edge out a win over conference rival Air Force.
“This probably comes at a great time for us,” Sawvel said of the timing of the bye week. “…just kind of wish that we were in a, maybe a better overall physical state. This bye week will help us, but we’re still going to need a little bit of time before we get a lot of the pieces back that we need back.
