Nov. 14, 2014 Sophomore Will Bellamy joined the Johns Hopkins Athletic Communications staff as a student assistant not long after arriving at Homewood in August 2013. An experienced writer, he will bolster the efforts of the office with a preview of each weekend's events (please note that this is not intended to be an exhaustive in-depth preview of every game or event. Rather, it provides a quick overview for fans with key links and things to look for. Key games, especially those against nationally-ranked teams or those with playoff implications, will lead the column each week). Football
Despite having already locked up the Centennial Conference title and an NCAA tournament bid, the Johns Hopkins football team will still have something to play for on Saturday.
The Blue Jays (9-0) will look to record their second straight undefeated regular season when they square off against the Green Terror of McDaniel at Homewood Field.
However, the Green Terror (1-8) have proven to be a tough team to beat for several CC programs this year. McDaniel fields a number of dangerous players on both sides of the field, such as senior wide receiver Nick O'Mella (645 yards) and freshman linebacker Drew Scott (57 total tackles). The team has also shown itself to be an opportunistic bunch, picking off eight passes and recovering nine fumbles so far this season.
JHU will have to continue to avoid making mistakes and put the ball in the hands of its playmakers if it is to come away with the win.
Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET.
