Hilltoppers fall short of expectations, lose to PICKERS, 98.22-86.18

There's no sugarcoating it, Hilltoppers underdelivered, at least based on projections, as PICKERS rallied for a 98.22-86.18 win. Trailing 86.18-64.96 heading into Monday night, PICKERS roared back behind Kyler Murray, who passed for 188 yards , ran for 74 yards and scored 3 touchdowns for 25.16 points, and Greg Zuerlein, who made 1 of his 2 FG attempts (4 points). A.J. Brown (5 Rec, 56 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Miles Sanders (118 Rush Yds) were the leaders for Hilltoppers in defeat. PICKERS (2-4) will look to sustain their winning ways against 24 Eh!, while Hilltoppers (4-2) meet Project Mayhem in an effort to get back on track.
