Coach Talk

Harlem's Fifty
You know Harlem's Fifty, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 23 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through eight weeks was 274.24. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Space Coast
Unless Space Coast wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our three wide receivers were targeted a grand total of 16 times in Week 9. Chemistry appears to be a problem, as that group hauled in just five receptions.
