Coach Talk

Throw up the X
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters logged 261 more total yards than the RBs of Peoria Hurricanes (344 yards from scrimmage to 83), as we ultimately utterly dominated them at the position (50 points to 6).
Peoria Hurricanes
Peoria Hurricanes will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 32 times in Week 14. With only 19 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
