Why this one matters

Both teams open the first full week of the season with tune-ups before league play starts. With neither program showing a record yet, Friday’s game is a chance for coaches to evaluate rotations and for players to make early impressions. There’s no recent meeting listed between the squads, which adds a bit of intrigue — expect coaches to lean on early-season fundamentals and roster depth as they sort things out.
