Coach Talk

Huskies
Football is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling display by Matthew Stafford, we nearly tripled Come Get Some at the quarterback position this past week (34.2 points to 11.8). Stafford went 21-for-32 for 305 yards and three TDs in a 38-22 win over the Texans.
Come Get Some
Listen, Come Get Some, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes points can just miraculously appear out of nowhere. Then in some cases (like this week) they don't! Hmmm, alright... asking for an additional 45 points might be a bit overzealous.
