GAMEDAY: Huntingdon @ Ferrum

Homecoming 2017, and Ferrum finds itself with a big game for the home fans. This week the Panthers host the Huntingdon Hawks, and not only is it a big game as far as the conference standings go, it will be a tough game..........but it will be tough for both teams. These two teams are two of the best in the conference, and both will want the win, but who will want it more?
After the loss to Averett last week, Ferrum must win.......not just want to win, they MUST win
Huntingdon has a strong running game, but Ferrum has an excellent defense against the run. So far, Ferrum has not given up a rushing touchdown. Last week, Averett could not manage 100 total yards of offense. So there is no question that the Ferrum defense is solid. There is also no question, that Huntingdon can put up strong offensive numbers. Through three games, they are averaging 217 yards on the ground, and almost 300 yards through the air.
Their defense is suspect. They are allowing a total of almost 500 yards per game. (204 ypg rushing, and 294 ypg passing) They are allowing just over 35 ppg.
Ferrum is averaging 97 ypg on the ground, and 230 ypg through the air.
Opponents are averaging just 96 rushing yards against Ferrum, and 115 yards passing against the Panthers. The Ferrum defense is only giving up just over 15 points per game.

This is a winnable game, and it must happen.......if your at the game Saturday, yell loud!
