A showdown between the top two passing offenses – and top two teams, for that matter – in the Palmetto State. Byrnes senior
Shuler Bentley tied a state record with nine touchdown passes in an 82-49 win over Woodruff last week. The Old Dominion recruit also ran for a score, pushing his tally to 22 total touchdowns in two games. Led by Oklahoma State-bound senior
Mason Rudolph, No. 15 Northwestern has averaged more than 51 points in its three wins. Rudolph had five of his career 81 touchdown passes in the Spartans' 65-7 blowout of South Aiken (Aiken) last week.
Just the facts: Byrnes beat Northwestern last season, 32-28, and the Spartans are looking to snap a two-game losing streak to the Rebels. … Senior receiver
Shaedon Meadors had four touchdown receptions in each of Byrnes' first two games.
