Coach Talk

SCLSU MudDogs
Listen, SCLSU MudDogs, we do appreciate the confidence. Starting not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Cameron Brate, Duke Johnson, and Josh Lambo), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Bro's Big Brew and we'll be toast!
Barb's Unreal Team
Unless Barb's Unreal Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (seven WR, three TE) were targeted a grand total of 50 times in Week 3. With only 30 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
