Arrogant Americans lose to Soonerjack in 162.05-134.80 rout

There's no easy way to say it, Arrogant Americans dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as Soonerjack rolled to a 162.05-134.80 win. Arrogant Americans nabbed a 26.20-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Soonerjack after that. They were led by Andrew Luck, who passed for 239 yards and 3 touchdowns for 31.75 points, and Stefon Diggs, who caught 10 passes for 119 yards and a touchdown (27.9 points).
