Coach Talk

Sooneye
Well Sooneye, the good news is that we won this matchup by almost 38 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 10 stood at 115.1. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Ben Beast
