After the game, QB Brian Saxton said, "Coming off a very dissapointing first 'game', only throwing
5 passes for completions and having 2 INTs, I'd say my performance improved tremendously. I don't think that we were
ready our first game and that's why nothing clicked. Yeah my performance could not have gotten worse than it was the
first game, but I'd have to say that it was the best overal performance as a QB today. It took me a while to get used
to my recievers but when I did, things just clicked for us and the 4 TD's and going 19-23 really show that. Hopefully
I can keep it up throughout the preseason, regular season, and playoffs eventually." Nick Sabatello stated, "During
the British Gentlemen game, we practiced, worked on some routes. Brian (Saxton) started throwing the bell better," when asked
about the drastic improvement.
