Coach Talk

CUBuffs21
You know CUBuffs21, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 149.33 points through Week 11, our crew has obviously proven that it's even stronger than the 136.26 we needed for this past week's win!
Out for Blood
Derek Carr tossed one interception and not a single touchdown? It may be that thankful time of year, but we're having a lot of trouble being grateful for that sort of performance.
