On a trip back to Ferrum, I was fortunate to see many friends, the Blueridge Folklife Festival, and one heck of a football game. Since returning home Sunday, I have worked both jobs every day, and have to be at work in just over an hour while writing this at 4:52 a.m., so this will be somewhat abbreviated.
Both teams, came into the game at 3-3. Hampden-Sydney was known for a strong passing attack, and Ferrum has a run heavy offense. The question was whose defense would prevail. In a comparison of game stats, Hampden-Sydney seemed to outshine the Panthers in almost every statistical category.....
Ferrum offensively out gained the Tigers on the ground 260 yards to 87. Ferrum and the Tigers each suffered one intercepted pass, but Hampden-Sydney fumbled three times, and lost all three. Ferrum did not fumble. Time of possession went to the Tigers.
It turned out to be the solid performances of Brian Mann, Zach Cliford, and the Ferrum defense that led the Panthers to their fourth win of the season. This was a big win for Ferrum, and definitely gave the Panthers momentum, heading into this week. They will need it as they hit the road for Ashland Virginia to take on the 7-1, and conference leading Randolph Macon Yellow Jackets.
