Coach Talk

Sooners
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling Splintered at the wide receiver position (40.5 points to 10).
Splintered
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the NBA Finals, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Brett Maher may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
