SCHENECTADY - It's an elite matchup that happens on the Union College football field every day.
Senior wide receiver Gil Rivera, one of the Liberty League's finest at his position, faces off against senior cornerback Matt Mitchell, a first-team all-league pick a year ago.
"We say during practice, we're each other's No.1 enemy," Mitchell said. "Once the cleats come off, the helmets come off, we're best friends. So it's all good."
Mitchell said they've taken turns beating each other in practice.
"He makes me better," Mitchell said. "Iron sharpens iron. He's been keeping me on my toes. I keep him on his toes, and that's kind of how we like it."
