Coach Talk

Red Raiders
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches, right? Not only did we double up ghost to the post at QB (24.08 points to 10.8), we also tripled them at WR (27.3 to 8.25).
ghost to the post
Yo, ghost to the post, did your pass-catchers drop too many balls in practice or something? Accumulating just 17 total targets in Week 15, our starting receiver crew (four WR, one TE) clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
