Coach Talk

Forward Propulsion
Hey, the key to football is spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Thanks to stellar performances by Melvin Gordon III and Miles Sanders, our team took that to heart this past week. We tripled Chapel Bulls up at running back (29 points to 9). Gordon III had 118 total yards and a TD, while Sanders chipped in with 113 yards.
Chapel Bulls
Posting just four targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Chapel Bulls clearly should investigate why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
