[BeauFoster]

ASU will dominate BYEU
FU-24 Colgate-10
WCU-10 Liberty-21

Elon-28 PC-14 (I'm no longer sold on Elon being a real contender)
GSU-42 NE-3 (It may not be this close)
Samford-0 Ole Miss-42 (Ole Miss can score some points, Samford will struggle all day)

[jhbeagle]

After our game against AP, I will be happy with just a W against Northeastern.

Hope at least the barbeque was goodxthumbsupx

I think the Ole Miss score will be worse - if they hung with a #20 FBS school until the last 8 seconds, they will likely crush Samford. No smack intended.

[furman94]

yeah, i agree...

[ericsaid]

Wake is overrated though. I saw 63-0 Ole' Miss

Furman-31 Colgate-6 Pallies D shines again.
WCU-27 Liberty-20
FSU 70 UTC 3
Elon 42 PC 7
GSU 45 NE 24 I really hope that this past week was a fluke and that we simply did not show up focused
Mississippi 72 Samford 3

Game of the week - Liberty at Western ... the first real test for Wagner and the cats.

[furman94]

Thanks man! Yeah, the Death Dealer D is BACK!

[fuEMO]

I'm not sure what Colgate brings to the table besides their great tailback? But if they can't pass Furman's new 4-2-5 looks surprising strong against the run. IMO Brandon Williams and Juilian Hicks are way under-rated.

And I can't believe how well the young guys are playing, you have to like the future with Furman playing 12 freshmen and 4 sophomores on the two-deep.

Started off with two impressive games in 2008. Colgate's Scott will likely be the best running back we see in the regular season. Long road trip, hopefully we go up there, get the offense back on track, and take care of business.

Great defensive effort on Saturday. Our D was on the field for 65 snaps in the first half and only surrendered 3 points. That's well done right there.

[furman94]

Yeah, we HAVE to stay focused!

We don't play well in the NE.xconfusedx Hope we stay focused and put Colgate away.

Agreed. This will also let Liberty get an early glimpse of how good they really are.

Agree - I think they finished their D2 schedule yesterday.xnodx

What are you talking about? App State did not play FSU (Florida State) this year.

[The Cats]

Liberty-21 WCU-35
Furman 14 Colgate-21
Chatt-0 FSU-56
Elon 35 PC 20
GSU 35 NE 21
SAMFORD 0 OLE MISS 49

[elcid96]

Liberty 28 WCU 24
Dennis Wagner era gets a tough lesson in how much work WCU needs to be a good team again. Liberty was the 2007 Big South Champs and are already 2-0. They win here because they have the confidence to win while WCU is still licking their wounds from getting shut out against FSU.

Furman 28 Colgate-6. Colgate won against CCU last week but lost their home opener to Stony Brook. Furman lost to VT last week, but their D keep TECH to 28 points while managing to score once. The excellent Furman D keeps Colgate out of the end zone and their O scores four times.

FSU 70 - Chatt - 0. Many records by the FSU O will be broken during this game.

Elon 35 PC 7 - Elon has shown that they can rebound after travelling to Stony Brook and winning their last weekend. PC barely beat Fayetville State last week and this will be an easy win for Elon

GSU 28 - NE 21 Very unpredictable matchup that goes the way of GS due to the home field advantage.

OLE MISS 42 - Samford 7 - Samford has only played teams lower than their division so far and will get a welcome to Division 1 football this weekend.

Everybody else is off.

You might have read something about Ole Miss and Wake Forest Saturday?xrulesx

[ElonPride]

Elon-28 PC-14 (I'm no longer sold on Elon being a real contender)

Why is that? Elon played fairly well against UR.....Elon scored more points in the first half than UVA! Then we come out with a scrappy win playing in literally a pond against a decent team!!

[Mountaineer]

No score predictions:

Furman @ Colgate
Chattanooga @ Florida State
Presbyterian @ Elon
Northeastern @ Georgia Southern
Liberty @ Western Carolina
Samford @ Ole Miss

[OL FU]

No Scores from me

Furman-Colgate
This one has worried me from the start. Furman usually tanks one early away. I believe this is Colgates home opener. Maybe I am a homer, maybe the early season tells me so. But FU ain't blowing it on this game. 7 to 10 pointsxthumbsupx

WCU Liberty

Liberty proves they can beat the bottom half of the SoCon

Chatt-0 FSU-69 Do I even have to comment FSU by lots.

GSU 38 NE 0

Jawja soudernxnodx

SAMFORD 7 OLE MISS 27

Samford will no longer be undefeated

Elon PC - I missed the, Copied and pasted from Cantamount Man

Elon wins

[WCU LawCat]

Furman Colgate (SoCon is not the Big South)
WCU Liberty (same as above, Wagners boys respond with 3 point win)
Chatt FSU
Elon PC (Elon wins a close one)
GSU NE (upset alert!)
SAMFORD OLE MISS

[drpnut]

'Gate has a strong running back, but I don't think much else. If Furman's D stops the run like we expect, I say Furman wins big. If the RB for 'Gate has a strong game then it will be closer. My take: Furple 28 'Gate 10

Liberty has a powerful running back, and I believe he will test WCU. I think this will be a close one and I really want to pick the Cats but my take is: Flames 24 Cats 21

Noles and Chatty... nuff said Noles 70 Chatty 0

Although I like Elon cause they're in the SOCOn, I'm just not as excited about them as everyone else. PC plays a spread as well, but I beleive ELon has a better D, although neither D could stop BYrnes High School. My Take Elon:35 PC 17

GSU and NorthE should be interesting as Gasouth has a tendency to play down to its comp as was evidenced on Sat. and last year. I think it will be tight. My Take: Ga South 28 NorthE 17

Samford and Ole Miss nothing else to say Ole Miss 54 Birmingham Bulldogs 0

Woffy should handle BYE by 40 App will handle Bye by 48 and Elcid wil get by Bye by 32

[PaladinFan]

Furman needs to put Colgate in the win column. Just for the sake of comparison, it seems last years team didn't kick it into high gear until a losing season was on the horizon. This years team seems more focused.

Jordan Scott will need a whale of a game. I don't really remember the last time a tailback gashed Furman for a lot of yards. We usually play the run very well.

[Jiggs]

OLE MISS 42 - Samford 7 - Samford has only played teams lower than their division so far and will get a welcome to Division 1 football this weekend.

Samford has been playing Division I football since 1988.xthumbsupx

[Death Dealer]

One of my employees has a very close connection to a D lineman for Presbyterian. Word on the street is that their new D coordinator is struggling, and that the players are very unhappy with the schemes he has them running. Elon will kill them this week.

I'd really like to hear about what is going on over there. Furman's Julius Dixon went over as Defensive coordinator last season and then after one year moved on to Savannah State. Some reports had only one coach besdes the head coach returning from last season.

The Flood Bowl.....I like that!!!

Anytime you can go on the road and win in those conditions is pretty darn good!

I didn't know if that game was at Stony Brook or not. I see that it was.
