Coach Talk

Clifton Convicts
We just can't overstate how important close victories like this are for team chemistry. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit unit... expect the Clifton Convicts locker room to really gel riding into Week 2.
Pontiac Bandits
"Not seeing enough looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Pontiac Bandits. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 1. With only 14 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
