Montini @ Driscoll

Montini (8-0, 6-0) at Driscoll (8-0, 6-0)

Suburban Catholic Conference

Game time: 1 p.m., Saturday.

Last year: Driscoll 21, Montini 14.

Last week: Montini 52, St. Edward 0; Driscoll 21, Marian Central 7.

Outlook: The hottest Montini-Driscoll showdown in history, the first time these proud archrivals -- each No. 1 in their respective classes -- enter with 8-0 records in pursuit of the SCC title. There are no holes here. Montini has shut out its last four opponents, and on the other side quarterback Tom DiCristina has completed 73 percent of his passes. That's also allowed the Broncos to enjoy a 1,000-yard rushing edge over its foes. Driscoll quarterback David Schwabe has completed 66 percent of his passes with a stellar touchdown-to-interception ratio of 16-1. Driscoll's iron will, quicks and defensive rotation must handle Montini's offensive line strength, and the Highlanders can't afford the nearly 100 yards of penalties they've averaged through the first eight games.
