Coach Talk

Community Champs
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Community Champs. Playing a starter with negative points (Ronald Jones II) while still getting a W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
JWE25
Just three field goals on five attempts? Sounds like Greg Zuerlein should reevaluate his pre-kick process after this performance.
