Matty Ice beat predictions, knock off Golden Moose in 193.66-106.68 runaway

Matty Ice rose to the occasion, rolling to a 193.66-106.68 win over Golden Moose, who fell short of projections. There wasn't much drama in this matchup, as Matty Ice jumped out to a 67.44-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind standout efforts from Jalen Hurts and the Carolina Panthers defense. Hurts passed for 190 yards and ran for 82 yards and a touchdown for 21.8 points, while the Panthers defense allowed only 7 points, surrendered 128 yards, and intercepted 2 passes (20.46 points). Matthew Stafford (278 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and CeeDee Lamb (13 Rush Yds, 81 Rec Yds) were the leaders for Golden Moose in defeat. Matty Ice (1-1) will look to keep it rolling against Dungy and Dragons, while Golden Moose (1-1) attempt to get some positive momentum against Orange Herbert.

Coach Talk

Matty Ice
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by great production out of the backfield, our crew took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly outplayed Golden Moose at running back (58.7 points to 9.5). Aaron Jones had 115 total yards and four TDs, while Darrell Henderson Jr. logged 82 yards.
Golden Moose
Three WRs, two RBs, one TE, zero TDs: The six starting offensive position players on Golden Moose combined to register a healthy 363 total yards. None of those starters could get into the end zone in Week 2.
