The Unofficial Furman Football Page

Bo McKinney starting at RT.

Looks like we will have a dry first half at least.

FIrst drive - one good play on O.. Great FG but western all up in our grill in backfield. CMON OL. this is worst DL in conference we are playin'

Where has our defense gone?

Strange to me how off-kilter the team looks on both sides of the ball. Not what one would normally expect with a pretty healthy team mid-season. Very discouraging.

we are playing North Greenville / Gardner webb - what has happened? 1-5 passing.. HAVE TO COMPLETE SOME PASSES.

Boring game to watch.

Just run the ball.

I'm old enough to remember watching Furman football on a dry day.

Wet track out there. Affecting both offenses.

WCU is trying to slow everything down and limit Furman's possessions. They've made some nice plays in the passing game, but I think we've seen what they've got. The weather impacts them just as much as it does us.

Grainger looked a little more comfortable in the passing game than last week. They also appear to be letting him run the ball a bit more, which is something I have hoped to see this season. He's a tough guy to tackle in the open field.

Great two minute offense at the end of the half.

They are stacking in the box. They saw the Citadel film. We've got to be able to find some space out there.

Strange game.

Furman has had only 5 possessions and scored on 3 of them.

Sure. We aren't going to keep playing in the rain forever.

It's not *that* bad out there today. Weather is just an excuse . . . every year, there will be games with subpar conditions. If Furman is only a good team in ideal weather, they aren't a good team.

Its not an excuse. Both teams playing in the same conditions. It's still a factor.

All kinds of things are "factors." The Paladins should not be struggling against WCU like this, nor should they have gotten beaten down by Citadel at home.
