Coach Talk

Shelpas UTD
Nice job, Shelpas UTD. Fielding a team that registered 161 points this past matchup.
Boyler Brigade
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 15. With just 16 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
