GAMEDAY Blackhats look to go to 2-0 in the conference.

Well this weekend will be critical for whoever wins the conference championship. Avoiding the first loss is doubly important when half of the top ranked teams will definitely have a loss by days end. Whoever losses today will be in a much more difficult position. In order for them to still contend, the team that beats them has to lose two games.

Ferrum cannot worry about what other teams do. It is easy to speculate, and to try to figure what the best scenarios are for your team. None of that matters. The only thing that matters for Ferrum is defeating the North Carolina Wesleyan Bishops. This is the only outcome they can control. They must play focused football. Every play whether offense, defense, or special teams, has to be played to the whistle. This will be a challenging game, but I believe that Ferrum must continue to do what has gotten them their last two wins....Play solid defense, mix it up offensively, and play with as few mistakes as possible. I look for Ferrum to be at 2-0 in the conference by days end.

I am headed out to Rocky Mount NC soon.

Go Panthers!
