Coach Talk

Nebraska Corn Bores
Nice job, Nebraska Corn Bores. Kudos on assembling a team that won by 21.5 points this past matchup.
So.Cal Surfer Dudes
So.Cal Surfer Dudes will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 19 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group notched just 10 catches.
