Tds and Beer fall short of expectations, lose to Kentucky Zombie in 122.88-89.28 rout

Tds and Beer failed to rise to the occasion, as Kentucky Zombie cruised to a 122.88-89.28 win.

McCaffrey racked up 101 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns for 31.1 points, while Hill caught 8 passes for 139 yards (28.5 points). Patrick Mahomes (27.78 points) and David Johnson (15.1) carried the flag for Tds and Beer in the loss. This marks the second time this season Kentucky Zombie have taken down Tds and Beer, after falling 159.92-142.92 in their last matchup.

Coach Talk

Kentucky Zombie
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Case in point: we really emphasized that by doubling up Tds and Beer at running back this past week (31.1 points to 15.1).
Tds and Beer
Two WRs, one RB, one TE, zero TDs: The four starting offensive position players on Tds and Beer combined to register a healthy 265 yards from scrimmage. None of those starters could get into the end zone in Week 14.
