Hater Nation succumb to $150 Man in 146.52-109.32 rout

Hater Nation fell short of their projected point total, as $150 Man cruised to a 146.52-109.32 win. Hater Nation took a 3.30-point lead on Thursday, but it was all $150 Man after that. They were led by Jalen Hurts, who passed for 333 yards , ran for 57 yards and scored 3 touchdowns for 43.52 points, and Curtis Samuel, who racked up 99 yards from scrimmage and caught a touchdown pass (23.9 points).

Coach Talk

$150 Man
Football is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to a solid display by Jalen Hurts, we tripled Hater Nation at the quarterback position this past week (43.52 points to 13.14). Hurts went 26-for-31 for 333 yards, one TD, and an INT in a 24-7 win over the Vikings.
Hater Nation
Hater Nation may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 40 targets in Week 2. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group reeled in only 24 receptions.
