Both teams enter the matchup with fresh seasons (0-0), so Friday’s game will be an early measuring stick as each program looks to establish its identity. There’s no recent meeting on file between the two programs, so expect some unfamiliarity on both ends and a chance for a new rivalry moment to develop.
