Coach Talk

Tecmo Allstars
A big key to success in football is finding (and exploiting) the mismatches. With solid performances by Dalvin Cook and Todd Gurley II, our team definitely took that to heart this past week. We doubled Cyclones up at the running back position (40.8 points to 18.3). Cook had 191 total yards and a TD, while Gurley II logged 67 yards.
Cyclones
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 26 targets in Week 2. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group reeled in just 13 catches.
