MARQUETTE - Ferris State University now is facing the reality of a season in which it is now 1-4 overall and 0-4 in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
The Bulldogs now, more than ever, have to play for themselves, play for the uniform and play for pride as they seek to get their first conference win of the season (the Tiffin win goes in the books as a non-conference victory). Ferris now will look ahead to the Battle at the Ballpark as it heads to Fifth Third Park in Comstock Park where it will take on a struggling Michigan Tech University team in a special environment as the baseball diamond will be converted into a football stadium for this contest.
Ferris has been tested like rarely before in the lives of the players and coaches on this team. Now, it will be interesting to see how the players and coaches in this program respond to what has been a painful season thus far with several lop-sided losses (including a 43-7 defeat to Findlay and today's 34-0 loss to Northern Michigan University which bracket a stunning near-upset of top-ranked Grand Valley State University in a 17-10 loss).
It's soul-searching time for the Bulldogs and we will see how they respond against the Huskies in a battle of teams hungry to get a rare win.
