FERRUM, Va. – The Greensboro College football team dropped their first road game of the season Saturday to the Panthers of Ferrum College, 81-0.
The two teams traded possessions early in the first quarter, but the Panthers struck on a long play to take a 7-0 lead.
Ferrum then took a 36-0 before scoring the remainder of their points in the second half.
"Ferrum is a really good football team and they did what they had to do," Head Coach

"The future is still really bright for this program and I truly believe that. We have to get back at it and get ready for conference play next week.
Kasseem Bagley had a game-high 14 tackles, while Ju'Warren Byrd and
