Self Inflicted LossPanthers Fall to Quakers 28-27

This was a very good game, between two really talented teams. It had the markings, based on what I could tell from statistics, of possibly a high scoring contest. It seemed that the Quakers defense was going to be suspect, but it was not. Both teams featured a strong running game, but in the end, this was a game Ferrum should have won.
Ferrum did many things right, and played a really good game, but in this case, there were too many missed opportunities, Four times, Ferrum could have put points on the board, and came away without any. This in the end was a huge contributor to the defeat.

One big stat that jumps out at me is that Zach Clifford was sacked  5 times! The Quakers QB was not sacked. The pass rush has to improve. Yes there were opportunities, but its time to focus on Washington and Lee. This will be a huge game Can Ferrum still contend for the conference? Yes, but two things have to happen. Ferrum must win out.....no more losses, and someone, in addition to Ferrum has to beat Randolph Macon. That will give them a chance. Even then, it still may not be enough. In addition to that, Emory and Henry and Guilford both have to lose one more game.
The climb to a conference championship just got tougher......much tougher......and there are no easy games left on the docket.

Go Panthers!
