SAWTOOTHS smirk at predictions, defeat Hooligans in 186.00-126.50 rout

SAWTOOTHS exceeded expectations, cruising to a 186.00-126.50 win over Hooligans, who fell short of projections. It didn't take long to learn who would lead the way in this matchup, as SAWTOOTHS leapt out to an 80.55-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 50.45 points from Diontae Johnson (8 Rec, 92 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Christian McCaffrey (59 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 29 Rec Yds). Lamar Jackson (21.6 points) and Keelan Cole (17.8) carried the flag for Hooligans in defeat. SAWTOOTHS (1-1) will look to build on their success against Rebel Alliance, while Hooligans (0-2) will try to right the ship against Warm Bodies.

Coach Talk

SAWTOOTHS
This sport is all about identifying (and exploiting) the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Hooligans at the wide receiver position (78.65 points to 37.8).
Hooligans
"Not getting enough opportunities" is definitely not a viable excuse this week for Hooligans. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a healthy 32 targets in Week 2. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group recorded only 19 receptions.
