With a win this week, Lexington will clinch the UIF East Division title and guarantee themselves at least the #3 seed in the UIF Playoffs. This game will match-up two of the most exciting quarterbacks in the UIF with Lexington's Eddie Eviston and Ohio Valley's Matt Kohn showing off their talents. Eviston provided the team with six touchdown passes last week to bring his season total to a league leading 43. Kohn currently leads the league with 1922 passing yards and is second in the UIF with 38 touchdown passes. The Horsemen defense has been solid all year long as well as they are allowing only 33.8 points per game, which ranks second in the UIF. The Greyhounds have one of the most balanced teams in the UIF as they are ranked fourth in scoring offense (42.7 ppg) and ranked fifth in scoring defense (40.9 ppg). With a win, the Greyhounds could be in position to clinch a playoff spot next week in Fort Wayne.
