Earl Campbell defeat Munoz in 146.7-86.5 rout

Earl Campbell exceeded their projected point total, rolling to a 146.7-86.5 win over Munoz, who fell short of projections. Munoz nabbed a 9.3-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Earl Campbell after that. They were led by Tyreek Hill, who caught 7 passes for 142 yards and 3 touchdowns for 40.2 points, and Cam Newton, who passed for 275 yards and 2 touchdowns and ran for 43 yards (23.3 points). Davante Adams (33.2 points) and Harrison Butker (17) did everything they could for Munoz in defeat. Earl Campbell (3-3) will look to keep it rolling against The Bus #36, while Munoz (3-3) will attempt to get back on track against Dan Marino.
