Expect a lot of yards through the air as the Red Devils average 276.8 yards per game and the Cougars average 226.5 yards per game. However over the last five games the Red Devils are averaging 185 yards per game. Sam Durley, the Red Devils quarterback threw for 736 in the season opener, setting the NCAA record.
