Coach Talk

Kentucky Zombie
You know what, Kentucky Zombie, we do certainly respect the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Carson Wentz), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we'll be toast.
Wildebeasts
With just a couple of catches this past week, the starting RBs for Wildebeasts should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to check down more often.
