Meanwhile, Atlantic Coast took their matchup last Friday with ease, bagging a 33-6 victory over Andrew Jackson.
ED White better keep an eye on Rocco Manago. He was instrumental in Atlantic Coast's win, throwing for 240 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also punching in one score on the ground. The dominant performance also gave Manago a new career-high in passer rating (156.3). Ethan Redding also helped out as he racked up 138 receiving yards.
One reason for the win was Atlantic Coast's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Larry Smith, Cameron Murphy, and Jayden Cross, who each picked up one sack apiece. Another thorn in Andrew Jackson's side was Smith, who picked up a sack, forced one fumble, and made eight total tackles.
Atlantic Coast now has a winning record of 3-2. As for ED White, their defeat was their first of the season and makes their record 4-1.
Friday's game might be decided in the trenches. ED White has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 272.6 rushing yards per game. It's a different story for Atlantic Coast, though, as they've been averaging only 62.4 rushing yards. How will they fare against such a dominant running game?
ED White beat Atlantic Coast 16-9 in their previous meeting back in October of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Commanders since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
