Birdwell and Hooks will be playing at home against De Kalb at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Hornets got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Bears, probably because Birdwell had a solid game then too: he threw for 251 yards and three touchdowns on perfect 10-for-10 passing, and also rushed for 81 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries.
