Coach Talk

Beckley Bombers
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to a solid outing from Joe Burrow, we thoroughly outscored Broadway Ed at the quarterback position this past week (31.5 points to 11.86). Burrow went 40-for-52 for 375 yards, three TDs, and two INTs in a 22-18 win over the Patriots.
Broadway Ed
Normally, a single missed field goal isn't any real cause for concern. But come on now, talk about impeccable timing: Evan McPherson went 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and Broadway Ed dropped the matchup by 2.58 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
