Coach Talk

UE Broncos
Listen UE Broncos, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 109.8 points through Week 10, our crew has definitely proven that it's even better than the 64 we needed to win this past week!
Homer's Team
Homer's Team may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 13 times in Week 11. With just seven total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
