They Said It – Head Coach Craig Kennedy
On the game
“This was a disappointing loss for us. Albany State was relentless in their pursuit of the ball. We played pretty tough to push the game to OT and had a chance to tie it up and go to double OT after a great play call by Bo Barber. We need to show better maturity in certain situations and when you are on the road we have to have not just second effort but third and fourth effort. Today Albany State and Coach Gayle bested us.”

Up Next
The Badgers will finish their conference-opening road swing at Fort Valley State.
