Shake and Bake come up short of expectations, lose to Ditka Butkus in 108.98-81.44 rout

There's no way around it, Shake and Bake didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as Ditka Butkus cruised to a 108.98-81.44 victory. Shake and Bake jumped out to a 36.94-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind impressive efforts from Jared Goff, who passed for 321 yards and 2 touchdowns for 28.24 points, and Robert Woods, who racked up 104 yards from scrimmage and caught a touchdown pass (18.9 points). But it was all Ditka Butkus after that. They were led by James Conner, who racked up 149 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown for 22.9 points, and Michael Gallup, who caught 6 passes for 138 yards and a touchdown (22.8 points). Ditka Butkus (1-2) will look to sustain their momentum against Slammers, while Shake and Bake (1-2) will attempt to get back in the win column against Elephants Can’t Swim.
