Coach Talk

ND IRISH
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters tallied 217 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on TheGoat50 (372 total yards to 155), and we wound up tripling them at the position, 87.2 points to 27.5.
TheGoat50
As we bid farewell to 2020, let's reflect on the fantasy season and appreciate all of the ups and the downs that came with it. Okay, well really just seven ups and nine downs, but still... Thanks for spending a great year with us, and here's to 2021!
