Coach Talk

New World Order
Football is all about creating mismatches. With some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our four starting backs put up 210 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on More than a Thielen (399 total yards to 189), as we ultimately tripled them at the position, 75.4 points to 22.9.
More than a Thielen
Hey, our crew was just resting up for Week 5, right? The nine offensive position starters on More than a Thielen (four WRs, four RBs, one TE) combined to register 374 yards and just one touchdown in Week 4. Our opponent's skill players made it tough on us by logging 803 yards and nine scores.
