What to watch

This early-season nonleague tilt gives both coaches a chance to evaluate depth and set the tone for the 2025 campaign. There is no recent meeting on record between the programs, so expect some unfamiliarity and adjustments in the first half. With both teams at 0-0, Friday’s result matters for momentum more than standings.
