Crimson Tide come up short of projections, still manage to knock off Bricks Bulldogs, 96.20-76.68

Both teams were unable to rise to the occasion, falling short of projections, but Crimson Tide did enough to knock off Bricks Bulldogs. Predicted to triumph by a score of 111.73-87.34, Crimson Tide secured a 96.20-76.68 victory over Bricks Bulldogs. Bricks Bulldogs earned a 5.3-point lead on Saturday behind Chris Herndon, but Crimson Tide held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Todd Gurley II (48 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 76 Rec Yds) and the Washington Redskins defense (13 Pts Allowed, 192 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers). Marlon Mack (139 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 10 Rec Yds) and Robert Woods (19 Rush Yds, 74 Rec Yds) were the leaders for Bricks Bulldogs in the loss. This marks the first time this season Crimson Tide have taken down Bricks Bulldogs, after falling 109.86-68.14 in their last matchup. Crimson Tide will look to not lose that winning feeling in the Championship next week, while Bricks Bulldogs attempt to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.

Coach Talk

Crimson Tide
Hey, football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches, right? Thanks to a sound outing by Kirk Cousins, we doubled up Bricks Bulldogs at the quarterback position this past week (19.3 points to 8.68). Cousins went 14-for-21 for 215 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 41-17 win over the Dolphins.
Bricks Bulldogs
Recording a couple of receptions on just three targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Bricks Bulldogs should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
