Fri, 31 Mar 2023 10:30:00 -0000

"Controlling the Controllable" is the core of who Coach Rhule’s staff is. You can’t control the way the ball bounces, but you can control lining up correctly or knowing a formation. You can control getting a play in on time. You can control managing a play clock. Damon Benning challenges you to pick 2 or 3 things that you think you can control. YOU can dictate the outcome.
