Coach Talk

Steve S's Dandy Team
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our three starting backs put up 112 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on BANGERZ (264 total yards to 152), and we wound up doubling up them at the position (41.9 points to 20.2).
BANGERZ
Chin up, BANGERZ! There are plenty of lessons we can glean from the 2018 campaign and apply to next year... it's never too early to start strategizing and thinking about where to get better!
