Torpedoes Head Coach, Alvin Peterson had these comments after the game, "This was a disappointing loss. Our defense kept us in the game by forcing the Flats to settle for FG's on nearly every scoring drive. Our offense never got the spark that we needed. We will review the game film and find ways to improve. We need to play more consistently. We have a solid team this season, so we need to step it up and get things back on track. We have an extra week to prepare to host the Detroit Vampires. We will be ready come game time!"
