I still stick by my 5-5 prediction. That’s my hope. That would be 5-3 in SoCon

Big question is will we play hard next week w no playoffs to play for? That will be telling. C’mon guys beat Citadel !!! I know you can

Just to heckle for those that tried to convince me we could beat Samford when I doubted ... we were the FIRST team Samford beat on the road. I was told Samford couldn’t win a Road game. I HATE Samford. Please beat them next time.

I hesitated to say this after Wofford bc some peeps only like to hear this after a loss but it’s always true. -

“You aren’t as good as you think you are after a win. You aren’t as bad as you think you are after a loss”


Get healthy guys. Please come ready to beat Citadel !!!

Hard to predict anything without knowing what is going to happen at QB. We are two very different teams depending on who is in at QB.

At this point, 2-4, I’ll say this.
45% win chance against Citadel
40% win chance against UTC
60% win chance against VMI
35% win chance against Mercer
Now predicting we’ll be 3-7.

Based on your odds within each game I think that's 4-6

Without knowing QB that's tough but I'll play:

55% to beat Citadel - if we play HARD? We can stop the option. That's our specialty ! Love Grainger potential but if we have Roberts I'll say 65%. Starting lineup the main scary thing is Chucktown. That has been a tough place to win for good Furman teams

60% to beat UTC. It's at home. I'm confident. Wofford ran option on them. We can too

75% to beat VMI. VMI does have decent games like today and early in the year . Let's not be the team they beat.

W Roberts 50% to beat Mercer

So I am saying 2-4 now becomes 5-5

Hope you are more correct than I am. I realize we could be 6-4. One game at a time. We could beat Citadel. 45% chance (which I stated) is not terrible odds.

Citadel completed 3 passes against VMI yesterday 3-7 37 yds. I like our chances against them with Roberts. Without Roberts it's goes down considerably of course.
