Coach Talk

Breece's Pieces
Getting the win is most important, Breece's Pieces, but we certainly know of one spot where we can improve as a team; our starting running backs were significantly outmatched by the opposition. Held back by Darrell Henderson Jr. (17 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Breece Hall (92 yards, no TDs), our three RBs combined for only 21.5 points in Week 3, and the starting backfield for C Kupp doubled us up with a score of 44.5. Let's put some extra effort into scouting these upcoming defenses!
C Kupp
Don't get too discouraged, C Kupp! Listen, I've been at it long enough to realize that occasionally free points just seem to miraculously show up out of nowhere. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Hmmm, alright... hoping for an additional dozen points might be a bit on the excessive side.
