"We're excited about the challenges on our 2026 schedule and the opportunity to compete every week. Even with the early portion of the season being played away from Johnny Reagan Field, our process stays the same. Our guys have put in the work all offseason, and we're looking forward to seeing that preparation show up on the field.
