Key Player Matchups
QB Evan Hillock (Western) vs. Carleton Secondary: Hillock’s arm strength and timing will test Carleton’s man coverage, especially if Ford is limited.
RB Nathan Carter (Carleton) vs. DL Aidan John (Western): With John sidelined, Carter’s inside-zone runs could exploit Western’s interior defense.
