Coach Talk

Shake 'n Bake
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a solid display from Kyler Murray, we thoroughly outplayed Wildcats at the quarterback position this past week (34.92 points to 3.8). Murray went 9-for-24 for 188 yards and two TDs in a 38-10 win over the Cowboys.
Wildcats
Keep your head up, Wildcats! There's still a ton of football left to be played. These upcoming opponents may take a peek at your record and foolishly think they've got an easy matchup. Do what and James Robinson would in this scenario and keep pounding away... catch these complacent managers off-guard!
