Both teams stepped up, but it was Tds and Beer who emerged victorious, cruising to a 140.8-110.1 win over Wildebeasts.

Coach Talk

Tds and Beer
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating Wildebeasts at the wide receiver position (35.1 points to 7).
Wildebeasts
Hey, Wildebeasts, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? Accumulating just eight total targets this past week, our three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) obviously need to get the attention of their respective offensive coordinators this week in practice.
