Coach Talk
Go Go Heismans
You know what, Go Go Heismans, we do certainly respect the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (James Washington), while still earning a W... that's playing with fire.
Wolfpack
Only one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Matt Prater might have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of performance.
