Kyler’s Study Hall come up short of predictions, succumb to Indian and the Cupboard in 170.20-168.52 duel

Kyler Murray (193 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 29 Rush Yds) and Jonathan Taylor (161 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 14 Rec Yds) were the leaders for Kyler’s Study Hall in defeat. Indian and the Cupboard (1-0) will look to add to their success against Ass ETN Szn, while Kyler’s Study Hall (0-1) attempt to earn their first W against Drank in my KUPP.

Coach Talk

Indian and the Cupboard
Hey, it's good to be confident, Indian and the Cupboard. Deploying a player with zero points (Alec Pierce), while still earning the win... that's borderline arrogant! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it in the postseason and we'll be done.
Kyler’s Study Hall
Take my word for it, Kyler’s Study Hall... Seeing as I'm a coach who's constantly on the hot seat: if this whole "fantasy football GM" thing doesn't work out, you can take comfort knowing that there's always that gritty Assistant Coaching job available at the local Pop Warner team down the road!
