ABOUT EDWARD WATERS (1-3)

Key Matchups to Watch:

• Tuskegee's Passing Game vs. Edward Waters' Secondary: Tuskegee quarterbacks will face a tough challenge against Edward Waters' ball-hawking secondary, which has already recorded six interceptions this season. The performance of wide receivers Reggie Brigman and Gabriel Garmon, who combined for over 300 receiving yards this season, will be crucial in testing Edward Waters' defense.
• Running Game vs. Edward Waters' Run Defense: Tuskegee's rushers will need to establish the ground game early against an Edward Waters defense allowing 120 rushing yards per game. A successful run game could open up opportunities for Tuskegee's passing attack.
• Tuskegee's Defense vs. Edward Waters' Dual Threats: For Tuskegee defensively, containing both quarterback Keith Moore II and running back Greg Mango will be key. The defense will need to apply pressure and disrupt the Edward Waters offense to slow down their balanced attack.
• Special Teams Impact: With both teams having solid return games, special teams could be a deciding factor. Karon Taylor leads Tuskegee with a 43-yard kick return, and Stephan French for Edward Waters has been effective in return coverage.
