Coach Talk

#Unlucky13
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters tallied 143 more total yards than the RBs on Adams Family (297 yards from scrimmage to 154), as we ultimately tripled them at the position (33 points to 10).
