Coach Talk

Pulsechamber
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Pulsechamber! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve: our starting wide receivers were significantly overmatched by the opposition. Christian Kirk (22 total yards, no TDs) logged just 13.5 points in Week 16. The pass-catchers for Huskies doubled us up with a score of 33.2.
Huskies
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 19 times in Week 16. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in only nine catches.
