Coach Talk

Rebellion
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a solid showing from Jalen Hurts, we almost tripled Aussig Spartans at the quarterback position this past week (36.7 points to 12.64). Hurts went 22-for-37 for 315 yards in a five-point victory over the Bears.
Aussig Spartans
Happy holidays, Aussig Spartans! We hope the GM of Rebellion will send a thank-you card for the generous 89.24-point gift this past week.
