This week, the Panthers take to the road to challenge the first place North Greenville Trailblazers. The Trailblazers, are 4-0 in the conference, and looking to keep that streak alive against Ferrum. Interestingly enough, North Greenville is 0-4 out of the conference. This again will be a big ask for Ferrum, but this team has known defeat, so I don't see it as impossible. Ferrum is coming off a big win against Erskine, and will hopefully bring that momentum with them to South Carolina.
The Trailblazers are successful both on the ground, and through the air. They have run 233 passing plays, completing 150, with only 4 interceptions. 16 of those passes have been for touchdowns. They average 252 yards per game through the air. On the ground, they have run the ball 334 times, averaging 134 yards per game. Offensively, they will present a tough challenge, and keeping up with the Trailblazers will not be easy, but Ferrum has some pretty good numbers thus far and you just never know. Opponents of N. Greenville are averaging 138 yards on the ground and have scored 17 touchdowns on the ground this season. So if Ferrum can get control of the ball, and utilize Omarza Gray in the passing game more, look for Ferrum to make a strong run at this. Remember, this is a 12noon kickoff.
Lastly, keep an eye on the Chowan @ Erskine game. That may give insight as to what to expect next week.
Go Panthers!
