Coach Talk

AZTECS
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid performance by Justin Fields, we almost tripled Huskies at the quarterback position this past week (67.72 points to 23.14). Fields went 17-for-28 for 123 yards and three TDs (plus no INTs) in a 35-32 loss to the Dolphins.
Huskies
With three receptions on only four targets this past week, the starting running backs for Huskies should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
