Coach Talk

Kentucky Zombie
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but there's really no other way to put this, Kentucky Zombie: our starting wide receivers were significantly outmatched by the opposition. DK Metcalf (60 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged only 11 points in Week 13. The pass-catchers for Pulsechamber showed us up by recording a score of 29.3. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Pulsechamber
"Not seeing many looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Pulsechamber. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 27 times in Week 13. With just 15 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
