Key Player Matchups
QB SyRus McGowan (SU) vs. McDaniel Secondary — McGowan’s dual-threat ability will test a Green Terror defense that was stout in Week 1 but hasn’t faced this level of speed and scheme.
WR Daniel Clark (SU) vs. McDaniel CB1 — Clark’s deep-threat ability could stretch the field early.
QB Jayden Booker (MC) vs. Salisbury Pass Rush — Booker’s mobility will be critical against a Sea Gulls front that thrives on disruption.
WR Grayson Wendel (MC) vs. Salisbury CBs — Wendel’s size and ability to win contested catches could be McDaniel’s best shot at explosive plays.
Special Teams — McDaniel’s kicking game kept them close in Week 1; Salisbury’s return units are dangerous.
