Coach Talk

sbmurks
You know what, sbmurks, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes moxie to start, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Hayden Hurst and Randall Cobb), while still getting the W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Hilltoppers and see what happens!
PICKERS
With only a pair of receptions this past week, the starting RBs for PICKERS clearly need to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more frequently.
