Coach Talk

Jack Easterby's Altar Boys
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to a sound showing by Josh Allen, we thoroughly dominated Eat the ball at the quarterback position this past week (43.32 points to 7.34). Allen went 36-for-54 for 308 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 33-27 loss to the Buccaneers.
