The Suitland Rams will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the Oxon Hill Clippers at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Suitland is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after starting their season on the road. They had to suffer through a 60-13 loss at the hands of Dunbar. While losing is never fun, the Rams can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 72nd in Maryland, while the Crimson Tide are ranked third in District of Columbia).
Meanwhile, Oxon Hill was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Friday as they fell 24-19 to Flowers. The Clippers have struggled against the Jaguars recently, as their game on Friday was their third consecutive lost matchup.
Oxon Hill's loss came about despite a quality game from Aaron Ayodeji, who rushed for 48 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 149 yards on 18 of 27 attempts. The dominant performance gave Ayodeji a new career-high in rushing yards. Oxon Hill also got a significant boost from Cameron Azodeh, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 113 yards.
