Coach Talk

Roostrs
Listen Roostrs, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than seven points. Even better news is that we know we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through 14 weeks was 159.7. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
