The Chargers’ offense revolves around senior quarterback Nathan Deloach and sophomore running back Alex Swopes. Deloach shares targets with senior wideouts Ezra Duble and Ephraim McGhee, while the ground game leaned on Swopes and freshman Troy Brown in the first two outings. Chattanooga’s experienced offensive line is anchored by center JP Fain and tackle Tyre Brown. Defensively, linebacker Will Knox and defensive linemen Ryder Smith and Tyre Brown lead a group that has allowed 48 points in two games.
Grace Christian’s offense is keyed by junior quarterback Treyson Derry, who threw for 77 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 56 yards in the opener, and freshman tailback JV Stinson, who ran for 155 yards and a score. Senior receiver Jace Ballard caught six passes for 46 yards and a touchdown, while fellow seniors Blake Perkey and Hudson Burnett provide additional targets. Linebackers Jackson Coffey (14 tackles) and Parker Whittaker (nine tackles) anchor the defense, which generated one sack from Micah Royster and recovered a fumble against Carter.
