Coach Talk

BallGrabbers
Listen, BallGrabbers, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes real moxie to start a player with zero points (Zack Baun), while still getting the W.
Wolverines
Wait, our starting QB tossed two interceptions and not a single touchdown? We might need to play Monday-morning quarterback here. Was Tyler Huntley actually that out-of-sync with the receiving crew, or was the Steelers secondary just that great defending the pass? What do you think, Wolverines, do we continue to start him with confidence?
