Coach Talk

Kaepernicus
Hey, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches, right? Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our backfield put up 273 more total yards than the RBs on Demo men (295 yards from scrimmage to just 22), as we ultimately thoroughly dominated them at the position (39 points to 4.76).
Demo men
Whoa now, talk about under-utilized: The starting RBs for Demo men collectively logged just a couple of targets this past week.
