Mountaineers hand Smokin' Aces third straight loss in 104.30-57.15 rout

Mountaineers cruised to a 104.30-57.15 victory to hand Smokin' Aces their third straight loss. There was very little drama in the matchup, as Mountaineers took a 34.75-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind impressive efforts from Baker Mayfield and James Robinson. Mayfield passed for 334 yards and 4 touchdowns for 31.8 points, while Robinson racked up 108 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown (16.8 points). Matt Ryan (273 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) and the Minnesota Vikings defense (24 Pts Allowed, 390 Yds Allowed, 4 Turnovers) did their part for Smokin' Aces in defeat. This marks the first time this season Mountaineers have gotten the best of Smokin' Aces, after falling 103.8-89.25 in their last matchup. Mountaineers (4-9) will look to build on their success against Sparkeyz Sportz, while Smokin' Aces (4-9) try to get back on track against Taurusman.
