This All Feels Familiar...
Winless, The Renegades Aren't Panicking Just Yet
- Kelvin Kately, Senior Editor
The Arlington Renegades are in a situation similar to their 2023 XFL season, after dropping their 4th straight game to The Houston Roughnecks. Speaking in an April 24th media call, QB Luis Perez expressed that while emotions are high, it's important that the Renegades focus on play after play, and lean on each other.
​
Head Coach Bob Stoops also expressed that, "Our backs are against the wall." The duo, who led the Renegades to the 2023 XFL Championship after a 4-6 season, find themselves in familiar territory. Even though they are facing a very good San Antonio Brahmas team this Saturday, they remain confident that they can turn their season around.
​
Perez noted that even though San Antonio is a good team, they've been in close games this season with the likes of Birmingham and St. Louis, who both lead their divisions. He also noted that a win on Saturday would put them right back in the mix.
​
Can The Renegades get their season back on track? Or will San Antonio keep them in search of their first win? Tune in Saturday at 7/6CT on ESPN!!
