The Panthers will board the bus for the last road game of the year, as they travel to Murfreesboro N.C. to take on the Chowan Hawks. Chowan has a record of 3-6, and Ferrum likewise has a record of 3-6. Interestingly enough the two conference wins that both teams have, have come against the same opponents....Erskine and Shorter.
Statistically, these two teams seem to be even in some areas, with the total number of points given up to in conference opponents being 160 for each team. That same stat when you include non conference games has Ferrum giving up 304, while Chowan has given up 308. On offense, the total rushing yards gained by each team is:
Ferrum 967
Chowan 963
As for passing yardage:
Chowan 1734 135 of 250 with 7 interceptions
Ferrum 1281 133 of 221 with 7 interceptions
Penalties:
Chowan 61- 459 yards
Ferrum 48-409 yards
Field Goals:
Ferrum 3 of 7
Chowan 5 of 7
These are just some random numbers, but to me its interesting how close the stats are. Ferrum will need to use its speed, and open up its passing game by throwing for longer attempts. Lastly, on defense Ferrum needs to bring the pass defenders closer to the split receiver. The Panthers are giving too much of a cushion.
The Hawks will use Dominic Haney as their primary running back he has 251 yards on the season.
Ferrum will likely use Jahylen Lee who currently has 425 yards on the ground. Through the air, look for Omarza Gray to be the Ferrum receiver of choice. He has 518 receiving yards with 4 touchdowns. Chowan will counter with Jakobe Lane who has 360 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Ferrum can win this game, but it will not be that easy. With mistakes kept to a minimum, I think Ferrum could come out on top.
Go Panthers!
