Coach Talk

VACHout
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by stellar performances by Tevin Coleman and David Montgomery, our squad certainly took that to heart this past week. We doubled Bam! Bam! up at running back (71.17 points to 34.61). Coleman had 118 total yards and four TDs, while Montgomery logged 147 yards.

While it is that spooky time of the year, we'd prefer to see fewer tricks and more treats from your starting players, Bam! Bam!... 122.76 points was just a bit too ghoulish for our liking.
