Just going back and watching some of the game as well. This doesn't show up in the stat sheet, but Furman put the pressure on in matchups early in the game.

On the first drive, Furman was able to...

There's no one way to beat the option. It is a chess match between coordinators and constant adjustments in blocking and defending.

I don't think you will see ETSU run the same defense they did...

I expect there is a lot of teaching moments for both players and coaches. I imagine there are many on Wofford's sideline who just expected to find a way to come back. To their credit, they have...

I imagine if they had to do it over again, they might have gone to Miller Mosely and let him try to air it out a bit. Newman is a good QB, but mid-way through the second quarter you could sort of...

What he said.

I think Furman just chose not to make this a game between the tackles. They did that twice last year and Furman lost both. That plays right into the strength of Wofford's defense, which is their...

I don't doubt that. Colgate's a good team, but Furman played them last year on the road and dominated them. The Paladins just put 34 against what was considered one of the nation's top defenses.

That's a well-designed play, but Wofford definitely failed to adjust. Furman ran the same play and Wofford ran the same coverage against it. Twice Furman beat the same player in man to man coverage.

I don't think I saw Furman run this wrinkle last year, but man what a beautiful play design.

Actually, same play from earlier in...

If there was FCS fantasy football, Harris Roberts would have not necessarily been a smart play against Wofford's defense.

16-19 for 235, 3 tds, and 2 rushing touchdowns is a pretty good day,...

I still debate on whether Furman has to win out. Remember, the Paladins had a game canceled that likely would have been a walkaway win against a top 25 team (maybe not, but Furman has blown out...

I noted in the leadup that one of the potential matchup advantages for Furman was on the perimeter in the passing game.

Furman is a much deeper team in the offensive backfield than they were last...

I think Furman played two early games with a young team and freshmen QBs. They probably would have beaten Colgate like a drum and had a complete meltdown late against ETSU.

I think the team you...

Second half will be interesting. Furman has jumped out to early leads in both of their last games and let the opponent come back.

Wofford also got away with a clear illegal block on Newman's completion on their last drive. Terrier receiver went 10 yards downfield and clocked the Furman safety.

Good half of football from Furman and playing well on both sides of the ball.

Play smart, keep the Terrier offense in front, don't give up big plays, and let Wofford run the clock out for you.

I had never seen a team snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in a manner such as Furman managed against James Madison.

I will say that the ETSU game pretty darn close if not surpassed that for...

Incidentally, if you want a blueprint on stopping (or slowing down) the option, that 2004 GSU/Furman game is the game to watch. That Eagle offense was putting up 50 or 60 a game, and Furman held...

Outside of the Boise State/Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl 10 or so years ago, and the UGA/OU Rose Bowl last year, this was the best football game I've seen.

Football attendance is down everywhere. I watched Alabama and Arkansas last weekend and the stadium was 3/4 filled in Fayetteville.

Streaming games does make a difference. I admittedly come to...

Furman tends to report the actual attendance, or what looks like it would be close to the actual attendance.

70 degree sunny day in Greenville with a 1:00 kickoff against a good Wofford team? I'd...

Wofford certainly is strong at linebacker. My suggesting isn't that they aren't, but just noting the area I think Furman may try to exploit.

Furman routinely shifts its personnel. Often presnap....

I think you will see Furman try to throw it.

From what I've seen, Wofford does not generate a ton of pressure with their front three. Those are bigger two gap type players who are more "read and...

In the vague recesses of my memory I can recall a Furman defense really getting after Jayson Foster one year. Foster, as you probably remember, was hard to tackle with two hand touch, much less to...

The WCU game may not mean anything for Saturday, but Furman played Adams very aggressively. They sacked him a bunch, hit him a bunch, and pressured him constantly. He had a whale of a game, but...
