Coach Talk

Sweet Pugs
A big key to success in football is spotting (and exploiting) the mismatches. With stout performances by Derrick Henry and Leonard Fournette, our crew certainly took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly outscored Restore the roar at the running back spot (48 points to 3.7). Henry had 130 total yards and three TDs, while Fournette logged 110 yards.
Restore the roar
Just four field goals on seven attempts? Sounds like Mason Crosby should reevaluate his pre-kick process following this performance.
