Coach Talk

Layne Ducks
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. With stout numbers from the backfield, our team certainly took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly outplayed Minor Prophets at running back (38.4 points to 5.3). Derrick Henry did most of the damage (191 total yards and two TDs), while Todd Gurley II chipped in with 73 yards.
Minor Prophets
With three receptions on just four measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for Minor Prophets should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
