Coach Talk

Colonel Sanders
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. With stellar performances by Aaron Jones and Christian McCaffrey, our team definitely took that to heart this past week. We doubled Terps up at running back (41.8 points to 17.7). Jones had 170 total yards and two TDs, while McCaffrey chipped in with 128 yards.
Terps
Two WRs, two RBs, one TE, zero TDs: The five starting offensive skill players on Terps combined to register a whopping 396 yards from scrimmage. None of those starters was able to find paydirt in Week 2.
