Wofford had a few no-calls today that were probably penalties, and a few ticky tack ones that really set up Wofford's first touchdown.

One of those rare instances where the team that lost by three...

Cit also lost to Towson.

Is this a penalty?

This is Furman's touchdown pass to Alex Deluca (another example of Furman beating Wofford's man coverage). What struck me was the play on Furman's TE, Jake Walker, who looks to...

One encouraging thing for Furman is how they closed out the game. The Paladins couldn't close out ETSU. They made the plays they needed to topple WCU, but let them back into the game.

Against...

ETSU's defense looks solid and will carry them. Like Wofford last year, they probably benefit from getting Furman early instead of late.

Wofford had far superior statistics than Furman. Furman played an infinitely more difficult schedule than Wofford.

Part of the problem is laughable scheduling.

Typically Furman and the Citadel are the only two SoCon schools who consistently roll out a serious out of conference schedule. UTC generally makes a...

It was my thought that the game would come down to whether Furman's offense was up to the challenge. I thought we'd do a respectable job against the Terrier option game.

I'm not a guru on...

Roberts is a nice story. He sat four years behind Hannon and Blazejowski and only had limited playing time in mop up duty last year.

He's clearly Furman's best option at QB. He's a big guy,...

Samford has put up a lot of passing yards against two teams that play no defense. They've lost to everyone else.

It's a fun scheme to watch. It's "old school" with a lot of modern wrinkles.

I think it is going to be really over the next few years. The Paladins have only two seniors on offense (Roberts...

I do fear that the fourth quarter against ETSU is going to really haunt Furman this year.

Furman put together perhaps one of the most complete efforts I've seen from them in years. Just outplayed Wofford for four quarters.

I think one of the interesting matchups this weekend is Wofford's defensive staff v. Furman's offensive staff.

Wofford has had among best defenses in the SoCon for a while. Furman's offense lead...

If Tyrie Adams is healthy, WCU is going to be in most games. They have well documented problems on defense, but I think they'll score on just about anyone.

I think the Furman/WCU game was...

I think as fans we need to be patient.

I think there are a small subset of FCS fans of schools like Delaware, Furman, Richmond, Montana who are probably more antsy than most to "get things...

I don't disagree with that. I think we gave up an early touchdown after a fumble and it started to snowball from there. While I think Elon is the better team, I don't think they are 38 points...

Elon returned four starters on the offensive line with, I think, 110 combined starts between them. Their RT is an NFL prospect and perhaps the top prospect in FCS football. Their running back,...

You can accept the fact that Furman has played much tougher competition than Wofford or not. It does not change the fact. So you can throw all the statistics you want out there, but the statistics...

I note that elsewhere (I forget where - maybe here) but UTC is statistically predictable on offense. They mostly throw it, and mostly throw it to Nunnelly. When they run it, it primarily goes to...

It may happen, but I don't see Wofford holding Furman to 14.

It is my opinion that UTC is not a particularly good offense.

You and I likely disagree on this, but from what I've seen, Tyrie Adams is WCU's best QB and I don't think it is remotely close.

Not that transitivity works in football, but Furman scored 27 on ETSU in three quarters on the road. ETSU shut out Gardner Webb. The Running Bulldogs found the endzone twice against Wofford.

I tend to rank teams based on my perception of their total talent. The 30,000 foot view, if you will.

If we ranked them where they are currently, then that's just the standings.

Some rankings...

Samford got the benefit of playing Western's bad defense without the burden of playing Tyrie Adams and their offense.
