Not good news. Yes Citadel completed only one pass but GT complete only 5. It was 2 option teams. It wouldn't be that way against other ACC teams that actually can throw the ball.

It is good. Citadel is who they are regardless. So they might as well have votes or rank when we play them !

Not good news? I guess you mean our path to a SoCon championship and playoff bye before our first playoff home game is going to be a lot tougher than a lot of FU fans think. Mercer is going to be a bear 🐻 and that is not an intentional pun. And now we see that Citadel is going to be tough to beat as well. I AM glad about how well we have done in the first 3 games.
Focus on Mercer. They are very, very good.
Beat Mercer.

Cannot just be because it is Citadel. Whether we win or lose to Citadel, does it not make us look better that Citadel beat GT? Does not make sense for any team, any team, to want their rival to always do poorly.

It's a good win for the Citadel, but GT is awful. Their new coach is running a completely new system with Paul Johnson's option-based personnel.

Furman will be favored in every game going forward. We need to play like the lead dog. I've seen nothing to this point that makes me think Furman isn't the clubhouse favorite in the SoCon.

right. I hATE CITADEL but my point is that it's better for teams to be ranked when we play them. And better for SoCon perception - go Mercer just for tonight

Right now socon needs some perception help. Citadel helped that. Furman has helped that. Hopefully Mercer beats Austin Peay

Remains to be seen whether we will be favored in every game going forward. That may be true at the moment, but it could change week to week. A lot could change if we lose to Mercer. We could lose to Mercer. Let’s just focus on Mercer. Beat Mercer.

Sammy took care of Woffy last night 21-14. Despite the pre-season hype, the Anklebiters are not Top Dogs in the SoCon.

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
