Coach Talk

Lexi’s Team
Earning the win is most important, Lexi’s Team, but we do know of one spot where we can get better as a team. Our QB was clearly outplayed this past week. Kyler Murray went 21-of-32 for 289 yards and four touchdowns for Taco Corp, and all Mac Jones could manage through the air was 281 yards and one passing TD. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 2!
