Coach Talk

Gnosis
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. With some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our backfield recorded 133 more total yards than the RBs on Ram Thunder (197 yards from scrimmage to 64), as we ultimately tripled them at the position (42 points to 13).
Ram Thunder
Tis the season, Ram Thunder! We hope the GM of Gnosis will write a thank-you card for the generous gift you offered them this past week.
