Coach Talk

Sooners
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. Fueled by great performances by Christian McCaffrey and Chris Carson, our team certainly took that to heart this past week. We nearly tripled ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS at the running back position (68.25 points to 23.5). McCaffrey had 237 total yards and three TDs, while Carson logged 123 yards.
ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS
ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to get a healthy 29 targets in Week 5. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group hauled in just 15 catches.
