Coach Talk

Texas Blitz
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by stout production from the backfield, our squad certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We utterly dominated On/Goff Switch at running back (33.2 points to 12.5). Nick Chubb had 134 total yards and two TDs, while Ezekiel Elliott chipped in with 78 yards.
On/Goff Switch
Unless On/Goff Switch wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" isn't really an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 31 targets in Week 5. With only 19 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
