Coach Talk

Team Tadlock
Good work, Team Tadlock. Kudos on assembling a lineup that posted more than 196 points this past matchup. We should maintain this momentum as we roll into a tricky matchup in Week 10.
Vandals
Hey, our guys were just resting up for Week 10, right? The eight starting offensive skill players (four WRs, three RBs, one TE) on Vandals combined to record 388 yards and just two touchdowns this past week. The skill players on Team Tadlock definitely outperformed us by logging 641 yards and eight scores.
