Venue: Shuford Stadium, Salisbury, N.C.
Records: Emory & Henry 1-2; Catawba 1-2

The quick read

Emory & Henry brings the higher-volume offense; Catawba brings three games of proof that it will still be standing in the fourth quarter.

The Wasps average 403 yards and 30.3 points per game, but fell 28-26 to Tusculum after a 55-16 win at Ferrum.

Three things to watch

• Whether the Wasps protect a defense allowing 219 rushing yards per game
• Explosive-pass opportunities against a defense occupied by the run threat
• Two-minute execution after last week’s two-point conference loss

What a win means

A road win would even the Wasps’ record and prevent a second narrow conference result from becoming early separation.

Game conditions

Forecast note: warm conditions are expected, with scattered thunderstorm risk around several kickoff windows. Any delay or wet period would increase the value of ball security, punting and conservative fourth-down judgment.
