Dirty Hippies succumb to Soonerjack in 153.45-121.60 rout

There's no easy way to put it, Dirty Hippies underdelivered, at least according to projections, as Soonerjack rolled to a 153.45-121.60 victory. Dirty Hippies took a 10.05-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Soonerjack after that. They were led by Derrick Henry (28.9 points) and David Johnson (25.7). Josh Jacobs (85 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 28 Rec Yds) and Chris Carson (46 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 35 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) led the charge for Dirty Hippies in defeat. Soonerjack (1-0) will look to earn another win against Lucky Enuf, while Dirty Hippies (0-1) match up against DominationStation in an effort to generate some positive momentum.

Coach Talk

Soonerjack
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by tripling Dirty Hippies at the wide receiver position (50.9 points to 14.65).
Dirty Hippies
There's a decent chance that Dirty Hippies may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 17 targets combined this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently contributed to their teams' offenses by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
