What a job of coaching that has been done with our QBs, especially DG. He is a baller....gamer for sure! QB coach has done one fine job and our backup is not far behind. Our crowd will only get better. GO FU!

Our QB play has really been improving the last couple of years. D. Grainger is a flat out stud and the sky is the limit when he gets more experience. He has a far better arm that I realized. I would like to continue to see the deep balls because there are plays to be had and we have to keep their DBs' heads on a swivel....

Double dittos. DG is talent we stole from the FBS and his ceiling is high indeed. Congrats to our coaches for recognizing his potential and snatching him up.

I like to use a Moneyball analogy.

FCS teams cannot feed at the same trough as the FBS powerhouses. Recruiting becomes a more regionalized game with a lot of entrants.

FCS teams have to find market inefficiencies - good players overlooked by bigger schools for whatever reason. A lot of truly great SoCon players were overlooked because of their physical stature, size of their school, position, recent injury history, etc.

Good recruiters identify those guys. Good coaches develop them.

Based on my posts I am sure you could guess I LOVE me some Moneyball - and that sh*t works, as was proven out at the highest level of sports - Using STATISTICS they reinvented if not the very game of baseball itself, then at least the game of baseball team management. They beat a biased system with market inefficiencies as you say.

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
