At a press conference after the game, Guardians coach Terrell Buckley spoke about the close game. “Obviously this hurts. The difference is two turnovers. We didn’t make the plays when we was in position to do it.”
“Man, that was a barnburner right, 10-9, but we hung on and won,” said Renegades coach Bob Stoops after the game.
The Guardians return home Saturday, hosting the Houston Roughnecks at 7 p.m. at Camping World Stadium.
