GAME PREVIEW: Saturday marks the final game of the 2019 season for the Charger football team, hosting G-MAC rival Ohio Dominican at 1:00...The team will honor its 23 graduating seniors in a pregame ceremony that will start around 12:35 p.m. on the field...Senior safety Drake Temple's three interceptions last week give him six on the season, a career-high and second-most in the G-MAC...Hillsdale and ODU have played some very distinct games over the years, with surprising results going both ways in this rivalry...In 2014, neither team scored a touchdown in a 9-3 Panthers victory...In 2011, Hillsdale, who would go on to be outright GLIAC champions, lost a 43-42 game at home to the Panthers...Last year's game was truly bizarre, with the teams combining to throw five interceptions in the first quater alone in what would eventually be a 34-18 Hillsdale win in Columbus...In the first meeting between the teams, Charger QB Troy Weatherhead completed 26-of-28 passes for a school-record 92.8 pass completion percentage, in a 35-10 Charger win...This is Ohio Dominican's first trip to Hillsdale since October 2015, in what was Chance Stewart's first start at quaterback for Hillsdale.
