Coach Talk

Bekah's Boss Team
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. With stellar performances by Myles Gaskin and James Conner, our squad certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled Hurts so good up at the running back position (35.4 points to 16.7). Gaskin had 91 total yards and a TD, while Conner logged 63 yards.
Hurts so good
Talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for Hurts so good collectively logged a pair of receptions on only three measly targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to set up a screen play or two in Week 6!
