Coach Talk

B1G Daddy
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly dominating Return of the Mack at the wide receiver position (47.2 points to 8.1).
Return of the Mack
Unless Return of the Mack wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" is not a viable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 22 targets in Week 15. With only nine total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
