Key Player Matchups
QB Battle:
Waynesburg: New starter under first-year OC Phil Hamilton; inherits an offense that led the PAC in completion percentage (67.6%) in 2024.
Dickinson: Veteran QB who threw multiple TDs in Week 1; thrives in quick-read passing game.
Skill Positions:
Waynesburg RB Zayne Cawley vs. Dickinson front seven — Cawley led the PAC in rushing in 2024 and is the focal point of the Jackets’ offense.
Dickinson WR1 vs. Waynesburg secondary — vertical threat could stretch the field early.
Defensive Spotlight:
Waynesburg LB corps vs. Dickinson’s balanced attack — must limit explosive plays.
Dickinson pass rush vs. Waynesburg’s experienced OL — pressure could disrupt the Jackets’ new QB rhythm.
