Coach Talk

Nebraska Corn Bores
Football is all about spotting (and exploiting) the mismatches. Our squad found one this past week and literally doubled up Wisner Cow Tippers at the quarterback position (153.35 points to 70.15).
Wisner Cow Tippers
Unless Wisner Cow Tippers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" is definitely not a viable excuse this week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 45 times in Week 2. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group tallied only 27 receptions.
