Coach Talk

DesertFox
You know DesertFox, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 127.33 points through Week 12, our crew has certainly proven that it's even better than the 109.88 we needed for this past week's win!
BEEFCAKE!!
We just took it easy so our players could dominate in Week 14, right? The six starting offensive skill players (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) on BEEFCAKE!! combined to record 332 yards and no touchdowns in Week 13. Our opponent's skill players filled the statsheet by logging 616 yards and four scores.
