Coach Talk

Gorillas
Well Gorillas, the good news is that we won this matchup by 14.6 points. Even better news is that we know we're better than this, as our scoring average through five weeks was 161.3. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Texas Dawgs
The good news is that there's still a ton of time remaining to turn this season around. Your upcoming opponents may glance at your record and foolishly think they've got an easy matchup. Do what Justin Tucker would do in this scenario and put your best foot forward... catch these complacent GMs off-guard! Keep pushing forward, Texas Dawgs!
