Canyons has started the season a perfect 4-0 after back-to-back wins vs. state ranked opponents Fullerton College and Palomar College over the last two weeks. 

COC quarterback Tooni Ikahihifo was named the Southern California Football Association (SCFA) National Division Co-Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against Palomar in week four. Ikahihifo finished the game 19-of-34 for 355 yards and five passing touchdowns and added 87 yards on nine carries and a rushing touchdown to lead the Cougars on the ground. 

The Canyons defensive unit continues to play at a high level, surrendering just 16 points per game to rank ninth in the state, while slotting among the state leaders in sack totals with 15. 

The Cougars currently rank No. 4 in the most recent California Community College Sports Informa- tion Association (CCCSIA) poll released on Sept. 28. COC also checked in at No. 4 in the JC Athletic Bureau Head Coaches Poll. 

Riverside City (3-1) enters the game as the No. 7 ranked team in both the CCCSIA poll and the coaches poll. The Tigers are coming off a 37-20 home loss to Golden West College last week. 

Canyons and RCC last met in the 2019 SCFA Southern California Championship game on Nov. 30, 2019. The Tigers won that game before going on to win the 2019 State & National Championships
