Coach Talk

WhentheLe'VeonBreaks
You know, the key to football is spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Our squad found one this past week and absolutely dominated Russell's Last Stand at the quarterback position (29.64 points to 4.24).
Russell's Last Stand
A single missed field goal isn't typically cause for concern, but talk about impeccable timing: Chris Boswell went 4-for-5 on FGs instead of 5-for-5, and Russell's Last Stand dropped the matchup by 0.7 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
