Houma, La. – Reporter Buster Cherry: Good afternoon, Coach Craven. Congratulations on the season opener win against the Atlanta Swarm. Can you share your overall thoughts on how the offense looked during the game?

Coach Craven: Thank you. Overall, I’m pleased with how our offense performed in the season opener. Our players executed the game plan well, and they showed great determination to put points on the board. Tommy Utah, our quarterback, was composed and made some fantastic throws, totaling 279 passing yards and a crucial touchdown pass to Reggo Dinero. The offensive line did a commendable job protecting Tommy and creating running lanes for our backs.

Reporter Pat McKrotch: Liam Hammer had 3 receptions for 57 yards. How do you feel about his performance and his contribution to the offense?

Coach Craven: Liam Hammer has been an asset to our offense, and he continued to showcase his skills in the season opener. His three receptions for 57 yards were important for moving the chains and keeping the defense on their toes. Liam’s versatility and ability to make clutch catches are qualities we value, and he didn’t disappoint.

Reporter Jenny Talya: What were the crucial points in the game that helped secure the win for Louisiana?

Coach Craven: There were a few crucial points that contributed to our victory. One of them was our ability to convert on key third-down plays. Our offensive line did an excellent job providing protection, allowing Tommy to find the open receivers and keep the chains moving. We also capitalized on opportunities in the red zone, making sure to convert drives into points.

Reporter Harry P. Ness: The running back situation was a topic of concern after Duane Sammons got injured. How do you think Chris Grant Jr. handled stepping up in his place?

Coach Craven: Losing Duane to an injury was unfortunate, but I must commend Chris Grant Jr. for stepping up to the challenge. He showed great composure and determination, making solid runs and contributing to our offensive success. Chris is a talented back, and he proved that he can handle the workload when called upon.
