TICOS TEAM fall short of expectations, lose to Losman, 88.62-79.98

TICOS TEAM failed to rise to the occasion, falling short of their projected point total, as Losman secured an 88.62-79.98 victory. TICOS TEAM took a 50.48-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding efforts from Kyler Murray (17.16 points) and Chris Olave (10.6). But Losman held the lead the rest of the way, powered by the Tennessee Titans defense (10 Pts Allowed, 292 Yds Allowed, 3 Turnovers) and Justin Herbert (293 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 22 Rush Yds). Losman (3-4) will look to add to their success against Chorizo 4U, while TICOS TEAM (2-5) will meet La Maquina Roja in an effort to right the ship.

StatSmack

That pregame pep talk must have worked. Losman scored more in this matchup (88.62) than their season average (82.71).
