Coach Talk

waterloo vikes
Listen waterloo vikes, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 230.76 points through Week 8, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 217.94 we needed for this past week's win!
Oilers
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) collectively received a whopping 35 targets in Week 9. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they hauled in just 21 balls.
