####

Owen Williams has 30 yards on 14 carries in the first half. Since the opening drive, he has not gained a yard on 10 carries. Lake Zurch is stacking the defensive front, figuring the Scouts are going to rely more on the run with Andrew Clifford at quarterback.

Clifford is 4 for 10 for 23 yards and one interception.

Lake Forest graduate Connor Cavalaris is here on the sidelines. An all-North Suburban Conferfence safety for the Scouts last year, the freshman is a walk-on at Notre Dame. No sighting of Tommy Rees.

Pre-Game

Lake Forest quarterback Jordan Beck was among the last in line as the Scouts took the field, and he was in street clothes. That confirms his left elbow injury is serious enough to keep him on the sidelines tonight, and leaves a question mark for next week against Libertyville.

Junior Andrew Clifford, who played the entire second half in last week's win over Warren, will get his first full game start at quarterback.
