Coach Talk

Rednecks
Hey, we admire the confidence, Rednecks. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (Austin Seibert), while still getting the win! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be finished.
San Diego Crush
A single missed field goal typically isn't cause for concern. Having said that, Greg Zuerlein went 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and San Diego Crush dropped the matchup by 1.3 points. Talk about impeccable timing...
