Coach Talk

Heisenberg
Deploying a lineup that won by more than 27 points this past week... we did what was needed and took care of business.
Big Blue Gators
Unless Big Blue Gators wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" cannot be a valid excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 29 times in Week 16. With just 12 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
