Coach Talk

FDC Chiefs
Nice work this past week, FDC Chiefs! We'll give thanks for this bountiful victory, and now focus our attention towards a tough challenge in Team Tadlock.
Vandals
We just took it easy so our players could dominate in Week 13, right? The eight offensive position starters (five WRs, two RBs, one TE) on Vandals combined to record 479 yards and just three touchdowns this past week. Our opponent's skill players definitely outperformed us by logging 702 yards and six scores.
