Coach Talk

Red Storm
You know Red Storm, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 146.54 points through Week 13, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 130.22 we needed for this past week's win!
Tyler's Tip-Top Team
The problem this week was pretty easy to diagnose, Tyler's Tip-Top Team. Choosing to start Justin Fields in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
