Mitchell has yet another interesting non-conference game this week, visiting Smoky Mountain. The Mustangs are back after their best season in a long time, and a thorough beatdown of Madison in week 1, led by 1500 yard rusher Dustin Stephens. Mitchell racked up over 300 yards in their week 1 meeting with 3a Statesville, but despite going deep into Greyhounds territory 5 times, only managed 1 offensive score. The Mountaineers defense was stifling, holding the speed-laden Statesville to less than 200 yards on the night. Can Mitchell contain Smoky's ground attack in the same fashion? These two were once fierce conference rivals, dating way back to the Sylvia-Webster days, but haven't played since 1990.
