Coach Talk

Sooners
You know Sooners, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 134.91 points through Week 8, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 99 we needed to win this past week!
Gridiron Gladiators
Gridiron Gladiators will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 16 targets in Week 9. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they notched only nine receptions.
