Key Player Matchups
Bridgewater State Offense vs. Curry Defense
BSU’s offense averaged 25.8 PPG in 2024, led by a veteran QB and a balanced run/pass attack.
Curry’s defense allowed 34.1 PPG last season; must improve tackling and limit big plays to keep this close.
Curry Offense vs. Bridgewater State Defense
Curry averaged just 15.2 PPG in 2024, leaning on short passing and ball control.
BSU’s defense was stout against the run (allowing under 120 rush yards/game) and will look to force Curry into obvious passing downs.
Special Teams Edge
Bridgewater State’s kicking game was reliable in 2024, converting over 80% of FG attempts.
Curry’s return units could be a hidden weapon if they can flip field position.
