Coach Talk

AustinMidgetKickers
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Case in point: we really took that to heart by thoroughly outplaying Elephant-Titus at running back this past week (49.3 points to 19.62).
Elephant-Titus
Lots of activity between the 20's: The seven offensive position starters (three WRs, three RBs, one TE) on Elephant-Titus combined to register a whopping 451 yards from scrimmage. Unfortunately, not one of those players was able to find the end zone in Week 16.
