Coach Talk

No17 Go Long
Football is all about spotting (and exploiting) the mismatches. Thanks to a solid performance from Trevor Lawrence, we royally dominated Texas Rattlers at the quarterback position this past week (48 points to 19). Lawrence went 11-for-23 for 174 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 29-21 loss to the Eagles.
Texas Rattlers
"Not getting many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Texas Rattlers. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a healthy 24 targets in Week 4. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they reeled in just 11 balls.
