Coach Talk

Carr’s raiders
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying ghost to the post at the wide receiver position (21.85 points to 8.05).
ghost to the post
A single missed field goal isn't usually a reason to get upset. But come on now, talk about impeccable timing: Randy Bullock went 0-for-1 on FGs instead of 1-for-1, and ghost to the post lost the matchup by 0.3 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
