Coach Talk

Marsh
We just can't overstate how critical tight victories like this can be for locker room chemistry. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit unit... expect Marsh to carry some serious vibes into Week 16.
Lumberjacks
Ugh, talk about under-utilized: The starting backfield for Lumberjacks collectively recorded only three receptions on five targets this past week.
