Coach Talk

Out for Blood
I just cannot overstate how important tight victories like this can be for team chemistry. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit unit... expect the Out for Blood locker room to really gel heading into Week 16.
Puremichigan
Unless Puremichigan wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (two WR and two TE) collectively received a grand total of 31 targets in Week 15. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group hauled in just 19 catches.
