Coach Talk

Tonierlake
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Our squad took that to heart this past week and doubled up Colemania at the quarterback position (36.33 points to 17.11).
Colemania
Talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for Colemania collectively registered just one reception on three measly targets this past week.
