Black Ice fall short of expectations, succumb to Run CMC, 134.84-110.13

There's no sugarcoating it, Black Ice underperformed, at least based on projections, as Run CMC secured a 134.84-110.13 win. Black Ice grabbed a 34.65-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 37.9 points from Mike Evans (7 Rec, 104 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Jonathan Taylor (101 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD). But Run CMC held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Kyler Murray (33.14 points) and Christian McCaffrey (22.8). Run CMC (2-0) will look to sustain their momentum against Darrin's Team, while Black Ice (0-2) take on Raged Barbarians in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

Run CMC
Football is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to a solid display by Kyler Murray, we doubled up Black Ice at the quarterback position this past week (33.14 points to 15.48). Murray went 26-for-38 for 286 yards, one TD, and an INT in a 30-15 win over the Football Team.
Black Ice
"Not getting many looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Black Ice. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 15 times in Week 2. With just nine total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
