Coogs have made another comeback late and look likely to win this one. Another good win on the road to start the season. Nice to see this team pulling these games out as they haven’t been so far this year. Now, time to start leading earlier and putting teams away instead of the constant comebacks. Still, about to be 4-2 to start the year without a home game isn’t shabby.
