Coach Talk

Hilltoppers
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating 24 Eh! at the wide receiver position (49.7 points to 19.2).
24 Eh!
All of the cake, none of the icing: The six starting offensive position players on 24 Eh! (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) combined to record a healthy 401 yards from scrimmage. No one from that group could find his way to the end zone in Week 1.
