Geneva at University football: Preview capsule for Aug. 18 game
Aug. 17—Geneva at University
What: Nonconference game
When: 5 p.m., Aug. 18
Where: Scovil Field
For the record: An early start (5 p.m.) on Aug. 18 features the Preppers and Eagles. Visiting Geneva returns 18 letterwinners from last season, including standout running back Luke Smith. The Eagles have a daunting running game, with QB Kenny Young and Smith's backfield mates Hayden Diemer and Bryce Peet also running the ball. The Preppers' run defense will want to be on point. ... US returns a ton of letterwinners — 38 to be exact. Jackson Boland returns at quarterback with a large set of receivers. Darius Forrest is ready to take over bellcow rushing duties from graduated Ryan Pattison. Can Geneva's defense slow down a passing attack that US presents?
