• 67.0 rushing yards

• 210.5 passing yards

Game Outlook

This matchup features two evenly matched programs statistically, both sitting at .500 and looking to separate themselves in the early season. Mauldin’s passing efficiency and defensive playmakers will challenge Fountain Inn, but the Fury’s ability to put up points consistently makes them a dangerous opponent at home.

Expect a competitive battle under the Friday night lights, where turnovers and red-zone execution could determine who leaves with a winning record.
