Mayfields come up short of predictions, succumb to BuckeyeBall in 150.60-73.64 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, Mayfields dropped the ball, at least based on projections, as BuckeyeBall cruised to a 150.60-73.64 win. BuckeyeBall pulled out to an 8.60-point lead on Thursday behind Joe Mixon and never gave it back. Ben Roethlisberger (25.24 points) and Josh Jacobs (10.5) were the leaders for Mayfields in defeat. BuckeyeBall (1-1) will look to maintain their winning ways against Iggles, while Mayfields (0-2) will face off against JABarcher in an effort to earn their first victory.
