Coach Talk

Vandals
Nice work, Vandals. Assembling a lineup that won by over 17 points this past matchup.
Orange bloods
Unless Orange bloods wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 27 times in Week 15. With only 14 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
