Coach Talk

UnL TD Hunters
Only one make on three field goal tries? In a matchup this close, Zane Gonzalez probably had the GM of UnL TD Hunters sweating bullets.
Podolí Spartans
Unless Podolí Spartans wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 26 times in Week 1. With just 15 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
