THE BASICS
Titus Jones' five-yards run at 9:52 of the first quarter gave Ferrum a 7-0 lead, one it would never relinquish. The Quakers scored three minutes later on a Cam Hutchinson two-yard run, but the PAT failed and the Panthers led 7-6.

Backup quarterback Zeb Dyer threw the first of his three touchdown passes on the night at 4:32 of the first quarter, a 12-yard scoring strike to Tyler English and the lead was 13-6. Jones then found Tmahdae Penn for a 29-yard TD pass at the 10:20 mark of the second quarter to extend Ferrum's lead to 21-6.

Teddy Gassert connected with Edrick Purnell on a 20-yard pass play with 2:49 left before halftime to cut Ferrum's lead to 21-12 at the break.

The second half was all Ferrum, as Dyer added touchdown passes to Penn (13 yards) and Zac Saalweachter (2 yards), and DJ Baylor scooped up a Guilford fumble and rumbled 18 yards into the end zone.

Dyer was 9-12 passing for 87 yards with three touchdowns, while Jones was 9-13 for 164 yards and a score. Jack Sheehan closed the night with five PATs for the Panthers. Gassert was 12-28 passing for 137 yards and a score for the Quakers.

Defensively, Zach Hamilton and Bryce Smith had eight tackles each for the Quakers. Drew Hill and Billy Higgins each recorded five tackles for Ferrum.

BEHIND THE WHISTLE
"Great team win tonight. There was a moment just after half when we were up by nine. I told the guys these are the moments when teams have to make a choice. The defense stepped up in the second half, our offense overcame adversity and finished the game with Zeb Dyer at the helm, and our special teams units were solid tonight. Proud of the players and coaches!" --Head Coach Cleive Adams
