Friday's contest might be decided in the trenches. ED White has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 265.4 rushing yards per game. It's a different story for Riverside, though, as they've been averaging only 93.1 rushing yards. How will they fare against such a dominant running game?
ED White won a matchup that couldn't have been any closer when the teams last played back in October of 2024, slipping by Riverside 21-20. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Generals' Shermon Davis, who rushed for 151 yards. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for the Commanders to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
