Coach Talk

So.Cal.Spartans
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐ at the wide receiver position (65.6 points to 30.3).
┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 39 targets in Week 2. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they reeled in only 21 receptions.
