This rematch is sure to be a classic, as these two teams are evenly matched and have a history of close games. The Irish won the regular season meeting 9-0, but the Cougars have been playing better in recent weeks.

The Irish will be led by their balanced offense, which is averaging 31.3 points per game. Quarterback Tyler Japel is a dual-threat who can both pass and run, and running back Will Peroutka is one of the most productive rushers in the state.

The Cougars will be led by their high-powered running game, which is averaging 21.4 points per game. Running back Maverick Harper is a force to be reckoned with, and quarterback Daylen Cummings is a dangerous passer.

The key to victory for the Irish will be to establish their running game and control the clock. They will also need to be able to stop the Cougars’ running game and force Cummings to beat them with his arm.

The Cougars will need to be able to contain the Irish’s passing game and force Japel to run. They will also need to be able to capitalize on turnovers and score points in the red zone.

This game is sure to be a close one, and it could go either way. The Irish have the edge in experience, but the Cougars have the momentum coming into the game.
