Key Player Matchups
W&L RB Anthony Crawford vs. Wittenberg Front Seven — Crawford rushed for 139 yards and a TD on 28 carries in Week 1. Wittenberg allowed 173 rushing yards to Baldwin Wallace, so this is a potential mismatch in W&L’s favor.
Wittenberg QB JJ Miller vs. W&L Secondary — Miller threw for 147 yards and 2 TDs in the opener, but W&L’s pass defense will look to rebound after giving up 258 yards to Salisbury.
W&L QB Ty Collins vs. Wittenberg Pass Rush — Collins completed 65% of passes in Week 1 but was pressured often. Wittenberg’s Will Dix Jr. had 2 sacks last week.
Wittenberg WR Kade Ray vs. W&L Coverage — Ray led the Tigers with 66 receiving yards in Week 1; his ability to stretch the field could open up the offense.
