Game Preview: Ferrum @ LaGrange

A long bus ride will bring to an end what has to have been a long season for Ferrum. At 1-8, Ferrum travels to Georgia to take on the 4-5 LaGrange Panthers. With Tim Reynolds out for the season, the responsibility will fall on Harvey Taylor to try to get the offense to turn things around. For the most part, the offense has lagged in productivity, and Taylor and company need to take advantage of every opportunity to try to keep this one close. On the defensive side of the ball. Ferrum will face the top rated quarterback in the conference today, and the defensive secondary will again be tested. Look for the LaGrange quarterback, Craig, who has already thrown for over 2500 yards to continue to put the ball in the air. I look for a LaGrange offense that will be very similar to that of Methodist. If the Defensive secondary can force turnovers, and the offense can convert those turnovers into points, we could have a game.
All in all, I worry that this season has been a big drain on Ferrum, and they will likely have a difficult time getting up for this game. Look for a long ride home for Ferrum.

LaGrange  35

Ferrum  20

As for the rest of the conference....

Christopher Newport is open today, and as they have already wrapped up the conference championship, the rest of the conference is playing for pride. Here is how I see it winding up.

Greensboro @ Averett
 Maryville @ Methodist
Huntingdon @ NCW
 Home teams will have the advantage today!
