Coach Talk

Tds and Beer
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart by doubling up Huskies at running back this past week (41.3 points to 19.4).
Huskies
Unless Huskies wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 16. With just 12 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
