Coach Talk

Now were COOKin
Listen, Now were COOKin, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Dalvin Cook), while still earning a W... that's playing with fire. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against BoomGoestheDynamite and see what happens.
Hilltoppers
Three wide receivers, one running back, one tight end, zero touchdowns: The five offensive skill starters on Hilltoppers combined to record a healthy 352 total yards. No one from that group was able to find paydirt in Week 6.
