Coach Talk

BSU Beavers
Listen BSU Beavers, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 233.67 points through Week 12, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 180 we needed to win this past week!
Red Ryder Ricky
There's a decent chance that Red Ryder Ricky would be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 11 targets combined in Week 13, their three wide receivers apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
