Coach Talk

Omaha Orangatans
Wow, Omaha Orangatans, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this performance. Not only did you win by 59+ points, you also climbed two spots in the league standings!
Nebraska Corn Bores
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 18 targets in Week 4. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group managed only 10 catches.
