Coach Talk

Vandals
Whoa, Vandals, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this shellacking. Not only did you win by 42.65 points, you also climbed from ninth place to sixth in the league standings!
Nightmares
Unless Nightmares wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" is not an excuse this time around. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 43 times in Week 4. With only 24 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
