Coach Talk

Hit The Quon
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Brandon C at the wide receiver position (48.1 points to 20.2).
Brandon C
Lots of action between the 20's: The seven starting offensive skill players on Brandon C (three WRs, three RBs, one TE) combined to record a healthy 455 yards from scrimmage. None of those starters, unfortunately, was able to find the end zone in Week 14.
