Coach Talk

CUBuffs21
Bravo, CUBuffs21. Deploying a starting crew that logged 145.7 points in Week 8. Let's tip our cap to the GM of ¡VivaLaRevolucion!, take this victory in stride, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy title.
¡VivaLaRevolucion!
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 22 times in Week 8. Chemistry seems to be the primary issue, as that group pulled down only 13 balls.
