Coach Talk

Soonerjack
Wow, that Dolphins secondary didn't know what hit 'em! 30 connections on 37 attempts... good enough for a 81 percent completion percentage for Andrew Luck. We know the GM of Soonerjack is appreciative of that attention to detail.
Dirty Hippies
"Not seeing enough opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for Dirty Hippies. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 35 times in Week 12. With just 21 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
