It'll be hot.

With 4 projected first rounders in next year's NFL draft on the Clemson DL, it's going to be a long day for our OL. Could get ugly.

As much as I hate to say it, you can replace Could with Will when you add to the above that we will have a QB making his first start.

With games like this, I always hope that we score at least one TD and don't let the opponent get to 60. No one comments on a 52-10 game. It starts making news if it's 60-3.

The most points Clempson has scored on FU since 1964 is 41, which was the last game in 2012. I think that is about a dozen games.

It will be more along the lines of 52-7/10 or 48-3...Not expecting 60, but if that happens, I just don't to ever be the team that surrenders 80....that would be awful.

I won’t give Clemson that much credit, but I hope Dabo has more class than to let it get to that. If it gets out of hand (which I don’t see),we’ll be playing the third team.

ap, it's one thing lean toward the negative, but there's no need to be so certain of it. None of us can predict the future. Keep your chin up.

I remember another time when Furman had a young QB making his 1st start as a big underdog against an FBS Team. https://www.myajc.com/sports/college/ge ... gUagkWYSM/.

That one turned out pretty fair.

True, I guess I listen to WCCP too much, LOL. According to them not only will we be lining up against the best team in the country, but possibly the best college football team ever.

Was hoping this game might be on one of the ESPN channels which would have been a first. Instead of having the number one team in the country, espn chose the NC State game. At least it will be on a regular channel via the ACC network.

I'm happy for them to feel so convinced

Furman played Clemson in 2012 starting Reese Hannon in his first college start as a true freshman. It was 20-7 at halftime.

We were down 21-13 to NC State last year before giving up a late score with seconds left in the first half. Many thought Furman left some points on the field. That NC State team lost to Clemson by 7. NC State also had the #5 pick in the draft on their defensive line, and he managed 2 tackles against us. So, it isn't like this fall will be the first time our OL sees NFL caliber defensive linemen.

Clemson's a good club, but I have no expectations that this game will get wildly out of hand. We are better than they think we are. We also run the ball a lot and the clock will keep moving and shortening the game.

And by "games like this" I meant games against top five FBS teams. Which we don't play a lot of. And this Clemson team is scary ... 2016, 2017, 2018 Clemson is probably on a bit different level than 2012 Clemson and I always hate playing the FBS team the first game of the year. In 2012 it was the 3rd game. Without looking it up I can only imagine that our FBS scores are much more competitive when they aren't the first game of the year. Having said that I do agree with the above ... we almost always play Clemson well at least for a while, we almost always play FBS teams well in general, and our offense is helpful to keeping the score a bit lower than a normal FCS team might. So here's certainly hoping for an all-time upset, but if not that, a score that's competitive and no injuries.
