Coach Talk

Red White & Blaine
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Red White & Blaine! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our quarterback was significantly outplayed by the opposition. Lamar Jackson went 17-of-20 for 324 yards and five touchdowns for Hiawatha Super Domes, and all Jared Goff could manage through the air was 186 yards and one passing TD (plus an ugly interception). Let's work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
Hiawatha Super Domes
Listen, I've been at it long enough to realize that occasionally, 10 extra points will just magically appear out of nowhere... and then in some cases, like this week, they won't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you tried. Keep your head up, Hiawatha Super Domes!
