2024 Football Schedule - unofficial

[apaladin]

FYI-
34 redshirt freshmen
28 have not played
4 appeared in one game
2 appeared in two games
=Zero experience
23 redshirt sophs
15 have not played
1-appeared in 9 games(Harris)
2-appeared in 5 + games(mostly special teams)
5-appeared in 5 games or less
Outside of Harris no eperience.
10 of 17 Junios/RS Juniors have not played
64 players of 88 non freshmen have little to no PT.
Numbers may or may not be off but very close.
Of course we all hope all these inexperienced players will turn out to be great players as we all know it was very tough to get any PT the last couple of years because of such veteran teams FU has had. I am excited for the new season and will enjoy any success we may have and at the same time remembering 2023 was a one of a kind season.

I guess I just think you are making too much of this.

Most of the roster will not have a lot of playing time. That's not unique to Furman.

College football rosters often have over 100 players. Maybe 50 or so of those guys are actually going to play significant snaps. It's not bizarre to suggest that the majority of the roster won't have had a lot of playing time.

I also do not believe that 2023 was a "one of a kind season." We wen't 9-2 and 7-1 in SoCon play. We had an opening round home game in the playoffs and then went on the road to a seeded opponent and lost a close game.

We did the exact same thing in 2022. The only real difference is we were seeded in '23 and not seeded in '22 (arguably could have been). Still went 9-2. Still went 7-1. Still beat a team at home our first playoff game. Still went on the road to lose a close contest to a higher seeded team.

I'm excited about the 2024 Paladins. Again, we have recruited at a very high FCS level; little over 2 months till TOE meets leather in Oxford, GO DINS!

Good point Jackal, but I was not referring to the record but the roster itself. It certainky was a one of a kind season as far as the roster was concerned with so many seniors/grads. Never seen before or probably will never see again.

Another home kickoff time announced 2PM with UTC.

Not everyone!

Au contraire. Teetotalers, or sots, or anyone in between may very well desire to edify themselves with such knowledge prior to inserting themselves into such a contained environment.
