Torpedoes Head Coach, Alvin Peterson had these comments after the game, "This was a disappointing loss. We overlooked the Express and they brang it to us on our own turf. If you can't protect the ball in the CFL, it's tough to win games. We need to do a lot better at protecting the ball. We will review the game film and find ways to improve. We need to put this loss aside and get back on track. We host the Baltimore Bombers next week in a divisional matchup and this will be a key early season game, which neither team can afford to lose. We need to set the tone early on defense, establish our running game, and protect the football if we want to have a shot at winning this game!"
