Coach Talk

Wildebeasts
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really emphasized that by doubling up Huskies at running back this past week (35 points to 15.2).
Huskies
Listen, Huskies, I've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes points just seem to randomly appear out of nowhere. Then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! You know, the more I think about it... hoping for an additional 16 points might be a bit on the excessive side.
