Naperville North (3-2, 1-2) vs. Naperville Central (3-2, 2-1)

Game time: 7:30 p.m. today at North Central College.

Last week: Wheaton Warrenville South 41, Naperville North 13; Naperville Central 34, Glenbard East 14.

Last year: Naperville Central 24, Naperville North 21.

Outlook: Forty-three of the Huskies' 45 offensive plays last week were on the ground in an attempt to keep WW South's offense off the field. Expect to see more in the passing game tonight from quarterback Matt LaCosse, also the team's top rusher. Speedy running back Antonio Owens balances the physical running of Nick Sianta. Linebacker Nick Lifka and the defense aims to recover from the 475 yards allowed last week. The Redhawks' defense misses injured linemen Zach Borta and Kyle Cerchio, but linebackers Will Sayer and Conor Philbin keep the unit humming. Running back Matt Randolph is riding three straight 100-yard rushing games.

Next week: Glenbard East at Naperville North; Wheaton North at Naperville Central.
