The Unofficial Furman Football Page

Pretty ugly so far. Got a break on fumble recovery. Hamp made a nice pass for a first down then threw 2 horrible passes to wide open receivers, Missed FG prolly our only chance to score. Shown no ability to run the ball. NCS passing at will to WIDE open receivers.

Bad play calling as usual. Nothing new.

Yep Hamp not sharp. Outgained 149 to 33 in first. About what we expected. Yet to try to throw to the middle. Not coming close to putting pressure on QB or covering receivers. Making their QB look like Dan Marino.

Our defense that many think is good will be exposed in this game. Our lack of offense will be exposed. Of course for years our offense often struggles against FBS teams. I am afraid times have changed a good bit over the years as far as the quality of our overall team. Time will tell. Still waiting for “show me” as far as us being a decent team. Just don’t look like Furman teams of old.

Pretty much nails it.

ROUT. IS. ON. NCST is at a different level


they are just too good. Too many athletes. OL pushing us around some

Sisson is a in headlights. Give Shifkett a go.

Our defense is excellent. If you can't see that, I can't help you.

This is the biggest, most physical, deepest, best tackling group we've had in 20 years. NC State can score 50 and that doesn't change my opinion.

Our offense needs to carry some water. Our defense is working their butts off out there.

Again throwing everything to the sidelines. Nothing in the middle. HS not looking good at all.

I like the variety:

RUN up the middle!

Run UP the middle!

Run up THE MIDDLE!

Might as well wave the white flag!

Quit running it up the middle!!! It’s not working

Play calling is atrocious. Nothing innovative, no element of surprise. You can’t play vanilla against NC State’s D. You have to attack. Our O has no confidence.

State is bringing more than we can block, but we aren't doing anything to get them out of it.

Too many missed tackles on defense. Need to learn how to wrap

Meh. We've really only missed two tackles, but both resulted in long runs.

Our tackling has actually been really good all season.
