Coach Talk

Show me your Pigskin
You know Show me your Pigskin, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit recently, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 120.42 points through Week 6, our crew has certainly proven that it's even stronger than the 103 we needed to win this past week!
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Only six makes on eight field goal attempts? Seems like Tyler Bass should reevaluate his pre-kick process after this effort... especially each point being so vital to ¯_(ツ)_/¯ in this narrow matchup.
