Coach Talk

Doolittle
Hey Doolittle, the good news is that we won this matchup by 9.52 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 13 weeks was 117.86. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
