Coach Talk

Htown Dragons
Football is all about finding the mismatches. Fueled by great performances by Josh Jacobs and Christian McCaffrey, our crew definitely took that to heart this past week. We nearly tripled Wolverines7 at running back (60.8 points to 22). Jacobs had 139 total yards and three TDs, while McCaffrey logged 134 yards and two scores.
Wolverines7
Chin up, Wolverines7! Look, we've been in this business long enough to realize that occasionally a couple extra points can just miraculously come out of nowhere... and then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you gave it your best shot.
