Athlon's Possible FCS Upsets
Wont be necessary but will look nice on the resume. Especially when we are 11-1.

When I opened the link I thought I was going to read about a possible upset of Va Tech. I don't know that I would consider a win over Georgia State an upset.
This was for FCS vs. Group of 5 matchups but there was an article for FCS vs. Power 5 possible upsets but it listed only 7 games and the FU/VPI game was not listed.
Georgia State beat Kennesaw State last season (in a close match), who is one of the better FCS teams.MidlandsPaladin wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 6:35 amWhen I opened the link I thought I was going to read about a possible upset of Va Tech.

GSU isn't a world beater, but they are probably the equivalent of a top 15-20 FCS program. They won't be a pushover.
Right - that's my basic thought.. the GSU win over KSU. And I would rather face KSU as they are an option team. They would be a ranked FCS team on the road. Tough win... I would say 30% Furman / 70$ GSU at GSU.. 50/50 at Furman. I would have to look at their schedule from last year and returning players. It would be a great win to help our resume but wouldn't kill us to lose it. If we lose VT and GSU we probably need to make 8-2 otherwise to have a shot (8-4 overall). 8-4 with 2 FBS losses probably gets you in playoff from SoCon.
Also, win over KSU shows they may have a disciplined D. Though article shows they give up ground yardage at 6 yards a clip. I just haven't done any research yet. CSU first

Of course, Kennesaw State is usually propped up by a pretty weak schedule.gofurman wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 9:16 amRight - that's my basic thought.. the GSU win over KSU.

The Owls did best Wofford in the post season in a low scoring game. KSU struggled to score against a Terrier defense Furman ran off the field.
When I read this article yesterday it warmed my heart to see our boys in purple on the picture and running over Samford of all people
