Pogues Mahone knock Hogie's Hero's from 1st place in 728.3-700.7 thriller

Pogues Mahone squeaked by for a 728.3-700.7 win over Hogie's Hero's, knocking them out of the No. 1 position in Smashmouth II. Hogie's Hero's had a chance to come from behind on Monday night, but it wasn't to be. Pogues Mahone led 728.3-620.0 after Sunday's action and held on for the win despite a combined 80.7 points from Myles Jack and George Pickens on Monday night for Hogie's Hero's. Jalen Hurts (153 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 157 Rush Yds) and the Miami Dolphins defense (15 Pts Allowed, 210 Yds Allowed, 3 Turnovers) did the heavy lifting for Pogues Mahone in the victory. This marks the first time this season Pogues Mahone have beaten Hogie's Hero's, after falling 605.6-500.7 in their last matchup. Pogues Mahone (7-5) will look to build on their success against The Bills Collectors, while Hogie's Hero's (9-3) try to get back in the win column against My Team.
