Irvine (6-4) vs. Loara (7-3)
7:30 P.M. FRIDAY
GLOVER STADIUM
Loara averaged 31.9 points, 41 in its last four Empire League games. Irvine averaged 29.9 against a schedule that included six teams that were ranked at some point. Loara would do well to monopolize the ball and keep an eye on versatile Jake Savona (18 touchdowns running and receiving). Loara tight end Nate Robbins, who caught 27 passes for 631 yards and seven touchdowns, has been a steady receiver. Like Lappin, Jared Flint has thrown twice as many touchdowns as interceptions. Irvine’s Al Williams, who had a sore shoulder before hurting his knee last week, is averaging eight yards per carry.
