Key Player Matchups
QB Devin Owens (McMaster) vs. Windsor Secondary: Owens’ efficiency and deep-ball accuracy will test Windsor’s zone coverage, especially if Williams is limited.
RB Christopher John (Windsor) vs. DL Aidan McFarlane (McMaster): With McFarlane sidelined, John’s inside-zone runs could exploit McMaster’s interior defense.
WR Malik Carter (McMaster) vs. CB Isaiah Joseph (Windsor): Carter’s route precision and red zone efficiency give him the edge in contested catches if healthy.
