Blak and Blu come up short of predictions, succumb to Lone Star in 243.88-145.28 rout

There's no way around it, Blak and Blu underdelivered, at least according to projections, as Lone Star cruised to a 243.88-145.28 victory. There wasn't much drama in this one, as Lone Star nabbed a 72.16-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 69.06 points from Tom Brady (379 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs) and CeeDee Lamb (7 Rec, 104 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Matthew Stafford (321 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Nick Chubb (83 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 18 Rec Yds) were the leaders for Blak and Blu in defeat. Lone Star (1-0) will look to earn another W against Psycho Wards, while Blak and Blu (0-1) try to develop some positive momentum against waterloo vikes.
