Coach Talk

Lone Star
Nice work this past matchup, Lone Star! Let's give thanks for this bountiful victory, and now redirect our attention towards a tough challenge in waterloo vikes.
Flight Crew
Daniel Jones tossed two interceptions and just a single touchdown? It may be that grateful time of year, but we're having a lot of trouble giving thanks for that sort of performance.
