Coach Talk

Last Mohican
A big key to success in football is finding the mismatches. With some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our three starting backs outgained the RBs of Myanus, 317 total yards to 264, as we ultimately doubled up them at the position, 51.7 points to 24.4.
