Ethan Grunkemeyer touched on his reactions on the field when discussing building chemistry with his receivers today: "Any time we hit an explosive play in a team period, running down with them, celebrating, kind of building that up, that love of football. I think that's huge."
someone finally makes a play: Ethan Grunekemeyer completes a 43-yard pass to Trebor Peña on third down. good throw, nice run by Peña & Penn Staet has first down at the Indiana 13. Grunkemeyer was hyped after the play.
