Havoc lose to Vandals in 159.50-128.55 rout

Havoc failed to bring their A game, coming up short of their projected point total, as Vandals cruised to a 159.50-128.55 victory. Havoc nabbed a 13.40-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Vandals after that. They were led by Tom Brady (27.2 points) and Sterling Shepard (27.1). Mike Evans (45 points) and Jared Goff (20.85) did their part for Havoc in defeat. Vandals (2-1) will look to get another W against Enforcers, while Havoc (2-1) face GreatPlainsDrifters in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Vandals
Wow, Vandals, you put the rest of the league on notice with this blowout. Not only did you win by almost 31 points, you also climbed a whopping three spots in the league standings!
Havoc
Unless Havoc wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" isn't really an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 45 targets in Week 3. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they notched only 25 receptions.
