Coach Talk

Rebellion
The key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to stout performances by Christian McCaffrey and Mark Ingram II, our crew certainly took that to heart this past week. We quadrupled Honolulu Tigers at running back (52.1 points to 12.9). McCaffrey had 175 total yards and two TDs, while Ingram II logged 86 yards and two scores.
Honolulu Tigers
With three catches on just four targets this past week, the starting RBs for Honolulu Tigers should remind their quarterbacks to dump it down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
