Coach Talk

2BCON10U
You know what, 2BCON10U, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Eric Ebron and Tyler Boyd), while still earning the win.
Tigers
Recording only four targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Tigers should look into why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
