It was not a good day for the Panthers as they got steamrolled by the North Greenville University Trailblazers 27-0. In what needs to be a short recap, the Panthers could not stop the running game of NGU, and had a very difficult time establishing any offense, at least in the first half. By halftime, Ferrum had 30 yards of offense, and 1 first down. they never crossed the 50 yard line in the first half. The game ended with Ferrum gaining only 37 yards on the ground, and 94 yards through the air. On the other side of the ledger, NGU had 289 yards on the ground, and 129 through the air.
In my opinion, this team was the best Ferrum has faced this year (Except for maybe VMI, and that is a huge maybe as the Keydets are still looking for their second win of the season) North Greenville from what I have seen is the program in the conference Ferrum needs to aspire to be. Bigger, faster, and stronger. It will come, it is just going to take some time.
Now on to Murfreesboro N.C. to take on the Hawks of Chowan University. Chowan escaped with a 34-30 come from behind win over Erskine this past Saturday. The lead changed hands several times, and the Hawks led 27-23 early in the fourth quarter. The Flying Fleet retook the lead 30-27 with less than a minute remaining on a short TD pass. The Hawks would return the ensuing kickoff back 82 yards with just seconds left to end the game.
This is one of those games that I think Ferrum can win. It will take a great effort, but it can happen.
Go Panthers!
