Coach Talk

Centreviews
This sport is all about creating mismatches. With good production out of the backfield, our squad certainly took that to heart this past week. We doubled Osaka Blues up at running back (35.1 points to 16.3). With 127 total yards and two TDs, Ezekiel Elliott did most of the damage, while Boston Scott chipped in with 54 yards.
Osaka Blues
Lots of cake, no icing: The six offensive skill starters (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) on Osaka Blues combined to register a whopping 440 yards from scrimmage. No one from that group was able to score a touchdown in Week 1.
