Coach Talk

Sooners
Nice job, Sooners. Putting together a starting crew that logged 114.75 points this past matchup. Let's maintain this momentum as we head into a tricky challenge in Week 4.
LambeauLeapers
The good news is that there's still a ton of time remaining to turn this season around. The next few opponents may glance at the win-loss record and foolishly think they've got an easy matchup. Use that to your advantage and deploy your best possible starting lineups... catch these complacent GMs off-guard! Keep your head held high, LambeauLeapers!
