Coach Talk

Thomas Diggs Watkins
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our backfield recorded 132 more total yards than the RBs of LyonsPryde (276 yards from scrimmage to 144), and we ended up doubling up them at the position (60.1 points to 24.4).
LyonsPryde
Keep your head held high, LyonsPryde! There really is still a ton of time left to turn this season around. Your next few opponents may glance at your win-loss record and foolishly think they have an easy matchup. Lull them into a sense of complacency and hit 'em with the strongest possible lineups... they won't see it coming!
