Coach Talk

Autumn Wind
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. With some monster yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our backfield tallied 242 more total yards than the RBs on Red Raiders (355 yards from scrimmage to 113), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position, 30.75 points to 12.65.
Red Raiders
The problem in Week 14 is pretty easy to spot, Red Raiders. Going with Colt McCoy in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied more than 103 points... let's do a little research beforehand in Week 15?
