The Fairfield Falcons will be defending their home-field for the first time this season they go up against the Skyline Thunderbirds at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Fairfield will be strutting in after a victory while Skyline will be coming in after a defeat.
Fairfield is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against Hartford. Fairfield blew past Hartford, posting a 54-26 win on the road.
One reason for the win was Fairfield's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for four sacks. Chase Combs was especially locked on to Hartford's QB and sacked him twice.
Meanwhile, Skyline couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They had to suffer through a 54-6 loss at the hands of Norwich.
Fairfield was dealt a bruising 56-8 loss at the hands of Skyline in their previous meeting back in October of 2017. Thankfully for Fairfield, Braden Tyler (who rushed for 145 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
