Orange bloods fall to Rooster's, 135.45-126.65

Orange bloods failed to bring their A game, as Rooster's secured a 135.45-126.65 victory. Orange bloods leapt out to a 41.55-point lead on Thursday behind standout showings from Deshaun Watson, who passed for 253 yards , ran for 27 yards and scored 2 touchdowns for 25.35 points, and Harrison Butker, who made both of his FG attempts (10 points).

Rooster's (1-0) will look to maintain their winning ways against GreatPlainsDrifters, while Orange bloods (0-1) attempt to get some positive momentum against ExigentCircumstances.

Coach Talk

Rooster's
Only one make on three field goal attempts? Seems like Zane Gonzalez might have just toe-bashed himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of performance.
Orange bloods
With four catches on only five targets this past week, the starting running backs for Orange bloods should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
