Head-to-Head

The teams met earlier this season on August 30, 2024, in a lopsided matchup where NLSA dominated DasCHE, winning 35-0. The game was a one-sided affair with NLSA controlling all four quarters, scoring 7, 14, 7, and 7 points respectively, while DasCHE was unable to get anything going offensively. This result will undoubtedly add extra motivation for DasCHE as they look to bounce back in the rematch.

Team Stats Comparison

When comparing the two teams’ statistics, the differences in offensive and defensive production are evident. NLSA leads in nearly every category:

• Rushing Yards Per Game: NLSA (132.2) vs. DasCHE (86.4)
• Passing Yards Per Game: NLSA (225.2) vs. DasCHE (95.3)

• Points Per Game: NLSA (34.0) vs. DasCHE (16.2)
• Tackles Per Game: NLSA (58.9) vs. DasCHE (33.7)

DasCHE will need to find ways to improve their offensive production, particularly through the air, where they trail NLSA by a wide margin. NLSA, on the other hand, will aim to continue their dominance in all facets of the game, particularly using their balanced offense to exploit DasCHE’s defense.

What to Expect in the Rematch

As the two teams prepare to face off again on November 23, NLSA enters the game as the clear favorite. Their strong offensive and defensive units will be a significant challenge for DasCHE, especially after the earlier shutout. However, DasCHE will look to make adjustments and capitalize on any weaknesses in NLSA’s defense to keep the game competitive.

For NLSA, the goal will be to continue their dominance and close out the season strong. With a deep roster and a well-balanced game plan, they’ll be looking to build on their success and maintain momentum heading into the postseason.

Conclusion

The upcoming rematch between DasCHE and NLSA is shaping up to be an exciting contest, with the Lions looking to extend their dominance while DasCHE hopes to rebound from an early-season setback.
