Redlegs come up short of predictions, lose to Doughboys in 128.65-126.2 battle

Redlegs were unable to bring their A game, falling short of projections, as Doughboys squeaked by for a 128.65-126.2 victory. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as Doughboys led 115.75-74.30 heading into Monday night. Redlegs made them sweat behind Todd Gurley II (108 Rush Yds, 39 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Golden Tate (7 Rec, 79 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Doughboys (1-0) will look to add to their success against Negligent Discharges, while Redlegs (0-1) attempt to generate some positive momentum against Hooligans.
