Coach Talk

Vandals
Nice job, Vandals. Bravo on assembling a lineup that tallied more than 158 points this past week. We should maintain this momentum as we step into our next matchup in Week 4.
Enforcers
So, Enforcers, what'd your receiving crew do to tick off their quarterbacks this week? Seeing only 20 total targets in Week 3, our five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
