Coach Talk

Hilltoppers
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by tripling sbmurks at the wide receiver position (54.4 points to 17.5).
sbmurks
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 8. With just 16 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
