Coach Talk

Nebraska Corn Bores
Kudos on deploying a lineup that netted over 439 points this past week. We deem that to be a job done right.
Iowa Barnstormers
Hey, Iowa Barnstormers, what did your pass-catchers do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Seeing only 12 total targets this past week, our starting receiver crew (two WR, one TE) clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
