Coach Talk

SPARK
Hey SPARK, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 28 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 13 weeks was 110.9. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
ACL Tech
Whoa now, talk about under-utilized: As a group, the starting backfield for ACL Tech collectively logged just five targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 15!
