Guice'n Up fall short of predictions, succumb to The Hawks in 88.50-62.17 rout

There's no way around it, Guice'n Up dropped the ball, at least based on projections, as The Hawks rolled to a 88.50-62.17 victory. The Hawks earned an early 16.00-point lead on Thursday. Guice'n Up bounced back to take the lead on Saturday, powered by Ka'imi Fairbairn (22 points). Not to be deterred, The Hawks rallied later that afternoon, as Robert Foster (18.8 points) and Willie Snead IV (8.3) put them back on top once and for all. This marks the first time this season The Hawks have gotten the best of Guice'n Up, after falling 122.13-84.8 in their last matchup. The Hawks will look to keep winning in the semifinal round next week, while Guice'n Up seek to rebound and finish the season with a win.

Coach Talk

The Hawks
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? Not only did we double up Guice'n Up at WR (39.9 points to 18.5), we also thoroughly dominated them at RB (23.9 to 9.2).
Guice'n Up
Guice'n Up may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 30 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group pulled down just 14 receptions.
