February 24, 20206 yr We have our first major upset in the new XFL and we might have seen why Cardale Jones (Ohio State) has not been able to stick in the NFL. Jones, who played super well in week one and pretty good in week two, completely fell apart in this one. He was 13-26, 103 yards with 4 picks. He constantly missed wide opened receivers, threw the ball to empty spaces and more times than not, he looked like he had never had read a defense before. Nick Brossette (LSU) rushed for 75 yards and 1 TD on 8 carries. Also for the Defenders, Khalid Abdullah (James Madison) had 8 carries that totaled 47 yards, while Donnel Pumphrey (San Diego State) had 8 carries and 40 yards. On the defensive side of things, Jameer Thurman (Indiana State) had 6 tackles to lead the way. Ty Rausa (Boise State) kicked a 32 yard field goal. For the Wildcats, Josh Johnson (San Diego State) who has been on 13 different NFL teams rosters the day was his best to date in the league. He completed 18-25 passes, 278 yards and 3 TD'S. Tre McBride (William & Mary) caught 2 touchdown passes. Overall he had 5 catches and 109 yards. Martez Carter (Grambling State) had 3 catches one for a touchdown. He also had 2 rushing scores on 11 carries for 34 yards. Larry Rose (New Mexico State) also had a rushing touchdown. The ground game was missing starting running back, Elijah Hood (North Carolina) On the defensive side of the ball the Wildcats were missing both starting corners but it turned out to be a mute point as the unit had 4 picks and 3 sacks. Mike Stevens (North Carolina State) had two picks. With one each was, Jack Tocho (North Carolina State) and Arrion Springs (Oregon). Checking in with a sack apiece, Tre' Williams (Auburn), Stevens and Cedric Reed (Texas). two players had 8 tackles, Williams and Ahmad Dixon (Baylor) I.M.O. Jones had a bad game but it won't turn into a habit. I am betting he will come out next week against Houston and have a good game.
February 24, 20206 yr How is it an upset? You said two weeks ago that LA was the best team in the league. LA is 2nd in TDs scored and DC is tied for last in TDs given up.

February 24, 20206 yr Author My bad, it was Dallas. No problem. I am quick to own up to my many mistakes and quicker to show the rare times that I am correct.
