Coach Talk

Mack North
Nice job, Mack North. Fielding a lineup that won by 29.62 points this past matchup.
Apollo
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The seven offensive skill starters (four WRs, two RBs, one TE) on Apollo collectively gained a whopping 508 yards from scrimmage. Unfortunately, none of those starters was able to score a touchdown in Week 15.
