Key Player Matchups
QB Ryan Lavelle (WPI) vs. Husson Secondary
Lavelle’s dual-threat ability is central to WPI’s offense; Husson must contain him outside the pocket.
RB Marcus Williams (WPI) vs. Husson Front Seven
If active, Williams’ downhill running could help WPI control tempo.
QB Tyler Blanchard (Husson) vs. WPI Pass Rush
Blanchard has been efficient but turnover-prone; WPI must pressure him to force mistakes.
WR Chris Matthews (Husson) vs. WPI Corners
If cleared, Matthews is Blanchard’s top target; WPI will likely double him in red-zone situations.
