Coach Talk

Bama Blue
You know what, Bama Blue, we do certainly admire the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (Vance McDonald), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. Try those shenanigans next week against Go Blue and see what happens.
Sunshine Boys
Wow, talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for Sunshine Boys collectively logged a couple of catches on just three targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 13!
