Coach Talk

Texasseans
Getting the win is most important, Texasseans, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team. Our quarterback was clearly outplayed this past week. Our one signal-callers combined for just 15.4 points in Week 12, while the QBs for Orange Nation showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 40.03. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 13!
Orange Nation
Unless Orange Nation wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" is definitely not an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 24 targets in Week 12. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group pulled down only 11 receptions.
