Coach Talk

Fightin' Irish
Earning the win is most important, Fightin' Irish, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team; our quarterback was clearly outplayed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for just 4.92 points in Week 15, and the QBs for Goodell's Gonads showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 23.82. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 16!
Goodell's Gonads
Unless Goodell's Gonads wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" is not an excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 23 times in Week 15. With only 14 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
