Merritt is hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 40.44 points per contest. They will challenge Sayre on the road at 7 p.m. ET on Friday. Merritt is still on the hunt for that elusive first W.
The Oilers found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 42-8 punch to the gut against Hobart last Friday. The result was totally at odds with the teams' rankings as Merritt enjoys a hefty spot advantage.
Meanwhile, Sayre took a serious blow against Mangum, falling 56-8. Sayre was in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 35 to nothing.
With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
