Whackers lose to DominationStation in 146.45-114.10 rout despite beating predictions

DominationStation fell short of projections while Whackers outperformed their projected point total, but it wasn't enough to change the result.

Whackers leapt out to a 33.85-point lead on Thursday behind 33.85 points from Jerick McKinnon (52 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 16 Rec Yds) and Nick Mullens (291 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD). But it was all DominationStation after that. They were led by Deshaun Watson (31.05 points) and Travis Kelce (25.9). DominationStation (6-3) will look to add to their success against Soonerjack, while Whackers (1-8) take on Dirty Hippies in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

DominationStation
Bravo on assembling a lineup that produced more than 146 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. We should maintain this momentum as we head into what will surely be a tricky matchup in Week 10.
Whackers
With three receptions on only four targets this past week, the starting RBs for Whackers should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
