Coach Talk

Pounders
Listen, Pounders, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Ryan Succop and Ty Johnson), while still earning the win.
Mike Honcho '18
"Not seeing enough looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Mike Honcho '18. As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 54 times in Week 15. With only 31 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
