Brett Gabbert QB vs. Layne Hatcher QB
Brett Gabbert of Miami (OH), has had an outstanding season. Completing 111 out of 187 attempts with 1634 yards gained, 14 touchdowns scored, and a passer rating of 152.1, his precision and decision-making have been instrumental to their success despite 5 interceptions and 15 sacks that indicate areas for growth. Gabbert will need to read defenses quickly in this matchup in order to effectively execute under pressure.
Layne Hatcher of Ball State has shown promise despite their struggles overall, with 64 completions from 98 attempts for 582 yards at a completion percentage of 65.3% and only four touchdowns scored; yet his lower yards per attempt and limited touchdown production is reflective of their offensive difficulties. Hatcher excels with quick release accuracy but facing off against RedHawks will put him under intense scrutiny and put his resilience and game management abilities under test.
