Furman University vs. North Greenville University

[The Jackal]

Thank you both for jumping in… I should have included you FuBear, in my original question - I was just trying to not make too much noise for you both. But I'm glad to read both of your comments.

Obviously, Thursday night we're going to see some new things from the Furman offense… exciting times ahead.

Anxious to see how it looks in real time.

We all certainly hope so. Moving the ball, being able to throw the ball effectively and scoring points all would be new and nice to see.

Will be good to see Corey Watkins back on the field at Paladin Stadium Thursday night. Just hate it that he will be in a North Greenville uniform.

I think he might have gotten hurt earlier in fall camp. I don't know the extent of his injury, God Speed with his recovery.

Hmmm…woulda thought this Tweet warranted a thread of its own.

I've been thinking about this game for a while. I think NGU is a respectable DII program but I don't think there's an upside for the Paladins. First of all, I would imagine that the general expectation is that FU will fairly well dominate. But I don't see that as a good thing because all it means is that, in this case, perhaps NGU is weak this year or that DII football no matter how good isn't going to cut it. But would a crushing victory leave us with an overestimation of ourselves? It really won't impress our opponents especially those who didn't start their seasons playing down a notch.

However, the biggest downside of all is meeting up with a very tough opponent and scraping through with a close win or becoming the FCS analogue to Michigan in the App State stunner!

Having a new offense to watch at least makes it more interesting than the typical D-II situation.

it's D2... but the throws and play calls look great !

Granted, when you have an FUBeAR-approved OL it's all easy. The game is won on the OL and DL !!

[gofurman]

Great game!

Anyone see if any O or D starters did not play this game at all? Or did all listed starters play?

Or any injuries? The announcers mentioned we couldn't "lose any more OL"? Was that just preseason stuff or what? Thank you in advance

you know it ! BE CONSISTENT - that's what they say ! - on the other hand it is THE determining factor in a lot of games. I still wonder about Louis Ivory... NGU "may" have lost their starting QB in a meaningless game

I hope that is not the case .. I hope everyone is healthy on both teams

[The Jackal]

That'll do, pig. That'll do.

Starting to scan some highlights.

If you want to see a defensive line overwhelm an offensive line, this is a pretty good play.

I can just watch each individual defensive lineman just decimate his man. I think Xavier Stephens in the middle basically throws his man to the ground.
