Coach Talk

Baboons
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up OTF Markus at the wide receiver position (81 points to 34).
OTF Markus
Normally, a single missed field goal isn't any real cause for concern. Having said that, Matt Gay went 2-for-3 on FGs instead of 3-for-3, and OTF Markus lost the matchup by a single point. Talk about impeccable timing...
