QB Adam Moen (UWSP) vs. Wartburg Pass Rush — Moen’s mobility could challenge a Knights defense that forced 3 INTs and held Monmouth to 1-of-12 on 3rd downs.
WR Avron Carter (UWSP) vs. Wartburg CBs — Carter’s big-play ability will be a focal point; Wartburg’s secondary is ranked top-10 nationally in takeaways after Week 1.
