New Mexicans lose to Nebraska Corn Bores in 350.75-216.60 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, New Mexicans dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as Nebraska Corn Bores cruised to a 350.75-216.60 win. New Mexicans pulled out to a 6.60-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Nebraska Corn Bores after that. They were led by Tom Brady (358 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Patrick Mahomes (377 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs). Christian McCaffrey (63 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 38 Rec Yds) and Philip Rivers (220 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) led the charge for New Mexicans in the loss. This marks the second time this season Nebraska Corn Bores have knocked off New Mexicans, after winning 374-244.25 in their last matchup. Nebraska Corn Bores will look to keep it rolling in next week's semifinal round, while New Mexicans attempt to bounce back and finish the season with a win.

Coach Talk

Nebraska Corn Bores
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Our squad found one this past week and doubled up New Mexicans at the quarterback position (135.25 points to 62).
New Mexicans
Your starting QB threw three interceptions and just one touchdown? I suppose we're presented with a couple of options here. Was Mitchell Trubisky actually that off-rhythm with his receiving crew, or were the Rams just that strong against the pass? What do you think, New Mexicans... should we continue to deploy him with confidence?
