Thursday's game might be decided on the ground as these two are both standouts in the run game. Southwest SD has been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 147.9 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Castle Park struggles in that department as they've been even better at 236.2 per game. It's looking like Thursday's matchup might have some serious battles in the trenches.
Southwest SD ended up a good deal behind Castle Park in their previous meeting back in September of 2022, losing 33-14. Will Southwest SD have more luck at home instead of on the road?
