Coach Talk

Vandals
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our backfield tallied 119 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Dirty Dogs (339 total yards to 220), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position (88.9 points to 43.1).
Dirty Dogs
Logging only three receptions on five targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Dirty Dogs should remind their QBs to check down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
