Elon will host Wofford at Rhodes Stadium on Saturday for homecoming, with the game set for a 2 p.m. ET kickoff and streaming on FloCollege and FloFootball. The matchup gives Elon a chance to reset at home after a late 30-23 loss at New Hampshire, while Wofford arrives after beating Furman 32-25.
That is why Wofford Vs Elon is drawing attention now: Elon is 4-2, Wofford is 3-3, and both teams are coming off games that changed the tone of their seasons. Elon’s run game has been built around Kamerin McDowell-Moore, who rushed for 273 yards and two touchdowns against New Hampshire and set an Elon freshman rushing record in the process.
McDowell-Moore enters Saturday with 754 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 111 carries, numbers that put him fifth nationally in the FCS in rushing yards and rushing yards per game. He is averaging 125.7 rushing yards per game, a pace that has kept Elon competitive even when the final result did not break its way in New Hampshire.
Wofford’s offense showed enough against Furman to make this a different kind of test. Ethan Drumm threw for 304 yards and four touchdowns, Isaiah Scott caught seven passes for 193 yards and two touchdowns, and Wofford finished with a season-high 412 yards, including 308 through the air. That matters against an Elon defense allowing 184.3 passing yards per game, because Saturday is not just a homecoming date on the calendar. It is a meeting of a team trying to turn possession into points and another trying to prove last week was the start of something more than one good result.
The collision of those two needs is what gives this game its shape. Elon has already shown it can pile up points in stretches, but it also saw a one-possession lead slip away late at New Hampshire. Wofford, meanwhile, has snapped a three-game losing streak and now has to show that the win over Furman was not an outlier before the schedule tightens again. When the teams kick off Saturday afternoon at Rhodes Stadium, the bigger question is whether Elon’s home field and McDowell-Moore’s form can carry the day against a Wofford side that finally found enough offense to breathe again.
