Coach Talk

CUBuffs21
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our backfield logged 68 more total yards than the RBs on Phran Tarkenton (219 yards from scrimmage to 151), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position, 40.4 points to 19.1.
Phran Tarkenton
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 42 times in Week 13. With only 22 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
