Key Player Matchups
QB Charlie Smith (UWSP) vs. Pacific Secondary
Smith has been efficient (62.5% completions, 3 TDs, 0 INTs). Pacific’s defense forced 5 interceptions vs. Willamette, so this is a strength-on-strength battle.
RB Brycen Cashin (UWSP) vs. Pacific Front Seven
Cashin is the Pointers’ workhorse. If he establishes the run, UWSP can control tempo.
RB Brody Bantolina (Pacific) vs. UWSP Linebackers
Bantolina led all of Division III in all-purpose yards in 2024. UWSP must contain him to avoid explosive plays.
Pacific WR Corps (Chaffin & Camarillo) vs. UWSP Corners
With multiple QBs rotating, Pacific’s receivers must create separation to help stabilize the passing game.
