Watched a bit of Lenoir Rhyne's offense from last year - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0WwgRwS1mw

Most of the time, LR has 1 WR, 1 TE, 3 RBs in the formation. One of the two wingbacks appears...

Having only 4 WRs on roster sounds like the Taylor County teams I used to play back in the days before they discovered the forward pass.

I think all football coaches would probably say "let's play." While I know all teams are probably on campus and getting ready for the season, I still think that we will see in the next few days...

He also said "be prepared to play" and "have our campus prepared to host games."

None of that says total confidence we'll be playing football. It says that he doesn't know if they'll play...

For me, I'm watching what is going on in Major League Baseball right now and don't see anyway playing college football won't be a disaster.

That'd be interesting - 10 game season with Elon and James Madison playing a SoCon schedule.

Not sure what the SEC announcement will do for the SoCon.

In my opinion, I think the SoCon has to play the same card - a conference only schedule. Without the "money" games, I would think there...

I've always find that they struggle to keep up with Furman's running backs moving up and down the field.

Looks good!

These contract issues on football games are going to be fascinating to watch play out. The legal ramifications of COVID and its impact on agreements is far from settled anywhere in the country.

I had not realized that he had such an inglorious end to his last head coaching gig.

Sometimes a program takes a risk on a guy. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes not.

I think about this with Furman. The athletes are not meaningfully isolated. They do not have special dorms or dining halls or separate classes. They are mixed in with the student body general. I...

My experience with "protocols" is that it is quite easy to produce manuals on social distance, washing hands, and quarantining within the CDC guidelines.

What is always less clear is what happens...

Furman's football team reported yesterday. So, there's that.

Furman's AD had a social media post today that certainly makes it sound like the SoCon is still moving forward. Most press releases note that they are "continuing to monitor" the situation, so I...

This will have massive impacts across the entire academic landscape, not just at smaller schools.

If the P5 schools cancel a share of their games, the ripple effects will be monstrous across all...

To be perfectly honest, pushing football season back a few weeks wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. The South endures some bizarre weather in the late summer.

The NCAA also risks, though, making it look like they are just in it for the money.

If you are concerned with COVID enough not to play Wofford, but are willing to play Clemson, I'm not sure how...

I think that is one of the considerations for the SEC.

I had never really thought much of this before, but the SEC is a little peculiar in that some of their big rivalry games are non-conference...

Wofford was one of those teams that is interesting.

South Carolina has its annual rivalry game with Clemson. Hard to play that and not a home game against Wofford.

I think that argument makes sense, essentially that the games are "impossible."

The difficult spot for conferences, though, is that a lot of out of conference games are incredibly lucrative,...

I would think that the schools would have to work out an arrangement, frankly.

I expect prior to this year, contracts probably did not anticipate this sort of scenario - where the game is able...

We were having this discussion on Furman's forum. These games are important to smaller programs and mean a lot of funding for athletics.

I do not necessarily see how a program can cancel a game...

Looks like Devezin opted to stay at Mercer. That's good news for the Bears.

What are one player on offense and defense that may not be a "household name" that each team can expect to be guy to watch out for in 2020?

Two thoughts for Furman:

Defense: DT London Lewis.
