Coach Talk

Wrecked Em
You know Wrecked Em, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 23 points. Even better news is that we know we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 7 stood at 122.07. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
IKnowNothing!
