Ferrum @ Newport News Apprentice School

This Saturday, the Panthers take to the road to visit the Apprentice School. With a new head coach, and coming off of a win at Greensboro, this may not be same Builders team that Ferrum handled with little difficulty last year. Against Greensboro, the Builders had 371 yards rushing, This may prove a challenge for the Panthers, but a challenge they should be able to handle.

Look for Ferrum to give a heavy dose of Brian Mann, but to utilize the passing game more. I expect that the Ferrum offense is far better than that of Greensboro. NNAS is likely going to be better than last year, and although they are playing at home, I look for Ferrum to be too much.

As in most games, I see this one being won on the line of scrimmage. Look for Ferrum's offensive line to continue off of their strong performance last week. Brian Mann will also have a strong game, but expect more offensive diversity. I think there will be more passing, and look for Clifford to again turn it upfield and run it when given the opportunity. Also look for Tyler English to see a bit more playing time than last week.

Ferrum's defense will show improvement this week, and I would expect you will see more pressure on the Builder's quarterback. Look for the Builders to try to pass against a defense that gave up a lot of passing yards last week, but I think this will be futile.

All in all, I anticipate a happy bus ride home for Ferrum.
