Coach Talk

Press Coverage
Quick, Press Coverage, get out the calculator... what's the result when you multiply six times zero? A pretty lucky win against NO MA'AM, if you ask me! Playing a half-dozen starters who didn't get any points this past week - how did we get this win?
NO MA'AM
We were just taking it easy so our players could dominate in Week 2, right? The eight offensive skill starters on NO MA'AM (four WRs, three RBs, one TE) combined to record 431 yards and just one touchdown in Week 1. Our opponent's skill players made it tough on us by logging 608 yards and six scores.
