Coach Talk

Mclaurin AD14
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Our squad found one this past week and literally doubled up FAT ZEKE at the quarterback position (52.06 points to 25.52).
FAT ZEKE
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (one WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 14 times in Week 8. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group notched just seven receptions.
