Thursday's game might be decided in the trenches. Horn has been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 163.6 rushing yards per game. It's a different story for Skyline, though, as they've been averaging only 55.2 rushing yards. How will they fare against such a dominant running game?
Horn and Skyline were almost perfectly matched up when the teams last played back in November of 2024, but Horn suffered an agonizing 19-18 defeat. Thankfully for the Jaguars, Tyreke Cockroft (who rushed for 68 yards and one touchdown, and also picked up 42 receiving yards and one TD) won't be suiting up this time.
