Dead Again fall short of predictions, succumb to Soonerjack in 164.10-114.90 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, Dead Again underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Soonerjack rolled to a 164.10-114.90 win. It didn't take long to figure out who would lead the way in this matchup, as Soonerjack took a 101.7-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind outstanding showings from Matt Ryan and Stefon Diggs. Ryan passed for 273 yards and 4 touchdowns and ran for 16 yards for 39.25 points, while Diggs caught 8 passes for 153 yards and a touchdown (29.3 points). Kyler Murray (37 points) and Jonathan Taylor (19) did everything they could for Dead Again in defeat. Soonerjack (2-0) will look to add to their success against Arrogant Americans, while Dead Again (1-1) take on Hangovers in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

Soonerjack
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying Dead Again at the wide receiver position (85.25 points to 23.6).
Dead Again
Yo, Dead Again, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? Accumulating only 20 targets as a group this past week, our five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) clearly got on their respective QBs' bad sides.
