┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to stellar performances by Mike Davis and Ezekiel Elliott, our crew took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly dominated Texas Wildcats at running back (48.4 points to 9.1). Davis had 149 total yards and a TD, while Elliott logged 105 yards and two scores.
Texas Wildcats
We were just taking it easy so our players could dominate in next week, right? The six offensive position starters (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) on Texas Wildcats combined to register 322 yards and just one touchdown in Week 5. Our opponent's skill players made it tough on us by logging 576 yards and four scores.
