Coach Talk

Canes
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. With great performances by Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Aaron Jones, our crew certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We almost tripled Texas Dawgs at running back (36.9 points to 12.4). Edwards-Helaire had 94 total yards and two TDs, while Jones chipped in with 115 yards.
Texas Dawgs
Our starting QB tossed one interception and literally no touchdowns? We may have quite a dilemma on our hands here: Did Matthew Stafford seem rattled back there in the pocket, or was the 49ers secondary just that great against the pass? What do you think, Texas Dawgs, do we continue to start him with confidence?
