The Matchup
What to watch for
It's a Week 2 rivalry kickoff in the Dawg Pound as the Mexico Bulldogs host the Moberly Spartans. Mexico opened the NCMC slate with a statement win; Moberly brings a punishing ground game and one of the loudest traveling sidelines in the conference. Pearl Motor Company presents the Game of the Week with Nic Thomas on the call.
Pearl Motor Keys to the Game
Nic Thomas' breakdown
Win the line of scrimmage early — Mexico has to make Moberly one-dimensional and force the Spartans to throw it.
Protect the football. Last year's meeting turned on two second-half turnovers; whoever wins the takeaway battle wins the game.
Special teams field position. In a low-scoring NCMC slugfest, a blocked kick or a long return is worth a touchdown.
Feed the Bulldogs' senior tailback. When Mexico stays ahead of the chains, the Dawg Pound takes over.
