Why this matters

Both teams enter the matchup 0-1, looking for an early nonleague win to build momentum as the season shapes up. There’s no last-meeting history on file between these programs, so Saturday’s game could set the tone for future meetings. With modest fan counts on SBLive, this is the kind of local clash where online support and picks can help raise profile and engagement for both squads.
