Coach Talk

Florida’sVeryOwn
Kudos to you, Florida’sVeryOwn. Nice job fielding a starting crew that posted over 124 points this past week.
Minshew Mania!!!!!
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 27 times in Week 16. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group reeled in only 12 catches.
