“I am happy for a lot of our seniors. They have stuck around for their fifth and six years due to CoVID and they played some of their best football of their careers on Saturday,” said head coach Matt Mitchell. “It was a really intense football game, highly competitive football game. Ferris State is a really good football team that won 43 regular season games. This was a clean game for both teams as there weren’t any personal fouls. Two of the top teams in the nation were competing at a high level and there was a lot of respect on both sides of the field for each other.”
