Coach Talk

Sandbagging
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Fueled by stellar performances by Marlon Mack and Ezekiel Elliott, our team certainly took that to heart this past week. We utterly dominated Prestige Worldwide at running back (36.7 points to 5.6). Mack had 149 total yards and two TDs, while Elliott chipped in with 128 yards.
