Coach Talk

Fightin' Irish
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. With good production out of our ball-carriers, our crew definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled Goodell's Gonads up at running back (49.6 points to 23.2). With 237 total yards and three TDs, Derrick Henry did most of the heavy lifting, while Miles Sanders chipped in with 59 yards.
Goodell's Gonads
Don't get too down on yourself, Goodell's Gonads! Listen, I've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes free points can just miraculously show up out of nowhere. And then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! Well, hmmm, alright; it probably would've required some extreme wizardry to locate an additional 14 points for you this past matchup.
