“It’s another level, it’s a rivalry game,” said Higgins. “We’re going to have to play better in all three phases, but we made a lot of growth from last week to this week. We keep getting better, and that’s the most important thing to me. The Week of Practice was really, really good.”

“I think the offense can tighten up the blocks, but as long as we keep doing our part, I think we’re going to be good going into Sayreville,” added Johnson.
