Coach Talk

Butler Jets
Nice work assembling a lineup that won by a staggering 75 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's maintain this momentum as we step into what could be a favorable matchup in Week 2.
Throw up the X
All of the cake, none of the icing: The six starting offensive skill players (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) on Throw up the X combined to register a whopping 364 yards from scrimmage. Not one of those players could find his way to the end zone in Week 1.
