Coach Talk

Cheese
Hey, quick math, Cheese - what happens when you multiply six times zero? A pretty lucky victory against KYRY, if you ask me! Starting a half-dozen players who didn't get any points this past week... how did we get this win?
KYRY
Talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for KYRY combined to receive zero targets in the passing game this past week.
