Key Player Matchups
QB Michael Campbell (ETBU) vs. Centenary Secondary
Campbell’s ability to stretch the field vertically will test a young Centenary defense.
RB Jordan Reyes (ETBU) vs. Centenary Front Seven
If active, Reyes’ downhill running could help the Tigers control tempo.
QB Tyler Smith (Centenary) vs. ETBU Pass Rush
Smith must avoid turnovers against a Tigers defense that thrives on pressure.
RB Chris Johnson (Centenary) vs. ETBU Linebackers
Johnson’s ability to grind out yards between the tackles will be key to sustaining drives.
