Coach Talk

LC's CRUSHERS
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. With stout performances by Joe Mixon and Justin Jackson, our squad definitely took that to heart this past week. We doubled Smokin' Aces up at running back (37 points to 17). Mixon had 130 total yards and two TDs, while Jackson logged 85 yards.
Smokin' Aces
"Not seeing many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Smokin' Aces. As a group, our three wide receivers collectively got a healthy 21 targets in Week 15. With only 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
