It’s always a challenge for us,” says Faaborg. “The same focus we had in week two. We haven’t had a home win in far too long, that’s really our focus this week. Getting back in front of an excited, big homecoming crowd. We need to make sure that we are focused on taking care of business. It’s time for us to get that first home win in several years.”
