Key Player Matchups
QB Ryan Hughes (Ursinus) vs. Moravian Secondary
Hughes’ ability to stretch the field vertically will test Moravian’s defensive backs.
RB Marcus Carter (Ursinus) vs. Moravian Front Seven
If active, Carter’s downhill running could help Ursinus control tempo.
QB Jack Young (Moravian) vs. Ursinus Pass Rush
Young has been efficient but turnover-prone; Ursinus must pressure him to force mistakes.
WR Evan Miller (Moravian) vs. Ursinus Corners
If cleared, Miller is Young’s top target; Ursinus will likely shade coverage his way.
