Coach Talk

Ices Cubes
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating Serenity at the wide receiver position (86.17 points to 9).
Serenity
Talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for Serenity combined to receive zero targets via the passing game this past week. Get those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 14!
