When Kai Gray, who had a pick six TD, was interviewed at halftime of the Elks vs BC game, he was asked what had changed the attitude on the Elks who for the first half of the season seemed to give up when things went wrong. He did not give one of the the typical pat answers, such as the players got together, or the coaching changed, but said straight out it was the energy that Tre Ford brought to every game that inspired the other players. By implication the players were not getting that from Cornelius. And once again, although the Elks with Ford at QB lost to a better team they did not give up when behind.
