Coach Talk

varnelldude
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no other way to put this, varnelldude... our quarterbacks were significantly outplayed by the opposition. Our two signal-callers combined for only 30.04 points in Week 15, and the QBs for Gobblers Knob JUGorNOTS doubled us up with a score of 70.12.
Gobblers Knob JUGorNOTS
