Key Player Matchups
QB Quentin Keene (UWO) vs. NCC Secondary — Keene’s efficiency (17/26, 271 yds, 2 TDs) will be tested by a Cardinals defense loaded with All-Americans.
WR Londyn Little (UWO) vs. NCC CB1 — Little’s speed and YAC ability could stretch the field.
NCC QB vs. UWO Pass Rush — Titans’ front, led by Wright and Henry, must disrupt timing against one of DIII’s most efficient passing attacks.
RB Rotation (UWO) vs. NCC Front Seven — Nine Titan ball carriers combined for 152 rush yds in Week 1; sustaining drives will be key to keeping NCC’s offense off the field.
Special Teams — UWO K Axel Vera Trejo was perfect on FGs and PATs in opener; field position could be pivotal.
