Coach Talk

Throwball Champ
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to stellar performances by Christian McCaffrey and Ezekiel Elliott, our team definitely took that to heart this past week. We doubled Fightin' Woodies up at the running back spot (72.4 points to 30). McCaffrey had 133 total yards and two TDs, while Elliott chipped in with 126 yards.
Fightin' Woodies
Unless Fightin' Woodies wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our three wide receivers were targeted a hearty 25 times in Week 12. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group hauled in just 14 balls.
