Unable to overcome starter's goose egg, So.Cal.Spartans fall to Shane's Team, 101.14-95.86

Hindered by a 0-point performance from Christian McCaffrey, So.Cal.Spartans were unable to overcome Shane's Team, which emerged victorious with a 101.14-95.86 win. Shane's Team never trailed in this one after grabbing a 2.08-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind Allen Robinson II (23.3 points) and Ryan Tannehill (13.24). Deshaun Watson (264 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and DK Metcalf (4 Rec, 110 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did everything they could for So.Cal.Spartans in the loss. Shane's Team (2-1) will look to earn another W against STANKY, while So.Cal.Spartans (2-1) will attempt to generate some positive momentum against Nouri's Nice Team.

Coach Talk

Shane's Team
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by stout numbers from our ball-carriers, our crew took that to heart this past week. We doubled So.Cal.Spartans up at running back (34.2 points to 15.9). With 143 total yards and a TD, Austin Ekeler did most of the damage, while Kenyan Drake chipped in with 79 yards.
So.Cal.Spartans
"Not seeing enough opportunities" won't fly as an excuse this week for So.Cal.Spartans. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a hearty 39 targets in Week 3. With only 18 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
