The Mississippi Delta Community College Trojans football team will be in Moorhead for the first time in 2018 this Thursday night. 

Coming off back-to-back road losses, the Trojans will try to get on the winning side of the standings against Northwest Mississippi Community College. 

Coach Benjy Parker's Rangers started the season with two wins in a row, one against Southwest and the most recent a 28-24 victory over East Central. 

"Coach Parker does a really good job," said MDCC Head Coach Jeff Tatum this week. "We know they're going to be well-coached. They're going to bring a lot more pressure on us." 

Tatum said he expects the Rangers to bring a one-back offensive approach, with a sound defensive attack. 

"We're going to have to be really disciplined on offense," Tatum said. 

Meanwhile, the Trojans are coming off of what Tatum said is one of the best offensive performances the MDCC program has seen in the past two to three years. 

Though they fell to Hinds Community College on Thursday night, MDCC scored 21 points in the 31-21 loss. 

The game was moved at the last minute to Mississippi College's football stadium, due to heavy rainfall from Hurricane Gordon, which drenched the field in Raymond last week. 

Jacob Krumm out of Hernando started the game for the Trojans, before Tyrique McAfee returned to the field later in the game for MDCC.

Krumm had put up a 4-for-7 backup performance against Gulf Coast the prior week, accumulating 43 yards in the air. 

Tatum said he played five freshmen on the offensive line, with three getting their first college experience in week two. 

Defensively, Tatum said the defensive ends for the Trojans continue to be the strength of the attack. 

"They gave us exactly what we needed out of them," Tatum said. 

After two weeks on the road, Tatum said it will be nice to be back on the home turf. 

"It's really nice to play at home," Tatum said. "We hope the mosquitoes and humidity will be on our side Thursday night."
