Coach Talk

I Shot Plaxico
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Tigers at the wide receiver position (63.8 points to 27.4).
Tigers
So, Tigers, what did your wideouts do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Accumulating just 12 targets combined in Week 3, our four wide receivers obviously need to get the attention of their respective offensive coordinators this week in practice.
