"We didn't start out the football game very good necessarily. Really in all three phases and just a little sluggish. We talked about that after the game that as a football team, we've got to prepare a little bit better and make sure that we're ready to come out and start and play a little bit better at the beginning of the game."
Pittsburg State football has a two-game lead over three teams tied for second place with three games remaining. The Gorillas are on the road this Saturday taking on Central Oklahoma. Kick-off in Edmond at 2 pm.
