We are physically prepared, we did our sprints and all our conditioning but I feel like everyone needed more time with their mental game in terms of reading the playbook, and being able to tackle. This was such a winnable game, but the mental aspect of our team isn’t there, not yet at least.” says Gideon Dela Torre, #22.
