Even something as simple as getting a playcall in was going to be a new and unique challenge for a group that had never worked together in a live game situation. Not only was Furman playing with a new coaching staff, but they were implementing new schemes and systems on both sides of the ball. So, even your veteran players were starting at ground zero from a knowledge standpoint.

Since the NC State game, when Furman really started to find their sea legs, they've pretty much hammered every team they've seen. The only team to keep it within a single digit margin was Mercer. Up until last week the Citadel was the best defense in the SoCon. Furman hung 35 on them in the first half.
Anyone who has watched all of the Furman games this season can tell you, definitively, that we were using 1/2 or less of our playbook against Wofford and Elon. Heck, just watch the Citadel debacle...they had no clue what was coming at them. And even when they did they couldn't stop it. I'm not saying it will be the same result against Samford...but comparing the Furman offense now to what it was in the first few weeks just doesn't work.
