"Our guys are excited over this homestretch coming up, number one," Molnar said. "Number two is, the way the crowd was at that last game. Our players talked about it, have been talking about it. It made a difference, and we believe that this game will be an even better turnout with our fans. At least, we're hoping that it will be. We'll feed off of that.
"It's very important to me that our fans support our program. But it's equally important that we give the fans a football team that they want to support," Molnar said. "So, I'm trying to do my end to put a football team out there that, win or lose, they'll be proud of."
