Key Player Matchups
OPSU QB vs. ETBU Secondary — Aggies’ passing game will need to challenge a Tigers defense that allowed some chunk plays despite a lopsided Week 1 win.
ETBU QB vs. OPSU Pass Rush — Tigers’ signal-caller will look to exploit a defense that held Peru State to single digits but may not have faced this level of offensive firepower.
OPSU RB1 vs. ETBU Front Seven — Establishing the run is critical for the Aggies to control tempo and keep ETBU’s offense off the field.
ETBU WR1 vs. OPSU CB1 — A potential big-play battle; ETBU will look for explosive gains to stretch the field.
Special Teams — Field position could be pivotal; ETBU’s return units are dangerous, while OPSU’s kicking game must be sharp to keep pace.
