Peoria Hurricanes come up short of projections, still manage to knock off KGG FB, 80-61

Both teams were unable to rise to the occasion, falling short of their projected point totals, but Peoria Hurricanes did enough to knock off KGG FB, coming out on top with an 80-61 win. KGG FB took a 35-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind outstanding efforts from Kenny Golladay, who caught 6 passes for 123 yards and 2 touchdowns for 25 points, and Jacoby Brissett, who passed for 202 yards and ran for 34 (11 points). But Peoria Hurricanes held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Christian McCaffrey, who racked up 155 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown for 25 points, and JuJu Smith-Schuster, who caught 5 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown (16 points). Peoria Hurricanes (3-5) will look to get another W against Boom in the Endzone, while KGG FB (2-6) will attempt to get back on track against Melonville LaRues.
