A Class B rivalry is our feature game-of-the-week as third-ranked McCook travels to Aurora to face the seventh-ranked Huskies. It will be the 11th meeting between the two teams in the past seven seasons.
The Bison are 4-0 and coming off a semifinal appearance in the Class B playoffs last year where they lost to eventual champion Omaha Skutt. McCook has done it with defense so far in 2014 having given up just over eight points per game. Offensively, Trever Matsen leads the way with 467 yards rushing, while quarterback Caleb Sheets has thrown for 422 yards and three touchdowns.
After a season-opening overtime loss to sixth-ranked Crete, the Huskies have bounced back with three straight wins. Quarterback Jake Kittle has thrown for 945 yards and eight touchdowns while also leading Aurora in rushing with 187 yards and four more scores. Receivers Todd Honas and Tobey Huebert have combined for 716 yards. The Huskies beat McCook in the regular season last year, but the Bison won the quarterfinal matchup in the playoffs.
