Last Time Out
Adams State return back to the Centennial State after suffering a 28-7 loss at the hands of West Texas A&M. In the game, the Grizzlies were able to amass 215 yards on 55 plays while being outgained by 130 yards. The Grizzly defense had the Grizzlies in the game until the fourth quarter. The only touchdown was made by Kentrell Petite as he capped off a short field with a 16-yard catch from freshman quarterback Conner Underhill.
 
Orediggers Last Game
Mines scored 21 points in the fourth quarter and rallied back from a 14-3 halftime deficit to defeat #4/6 Angelo State, 31-21, on the road in Texas last week. The Orediggers ground out a punishing win, with Landon Walker and Noah Roper combining for 119 yards and three rushing touchdowns (all in the second half) and John Matocha hitting Max McLeod on a stunning one-play, 84-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to take the lead for good. Mines' second-half turnaround saw them limit the Rams to just a single score early in the fourth quarter while finding the end zone four times, including Walker's 38-yard dagger in the final minute to deny ASU of a comeback opportunity.
