Do you think we will HR if he is 100% healthy?
That dead horse has been beat worse than Elon beat Furman.
It was over when he couldn't beat JL out during spring practice.
Too much time, effort and hot air have been used to try to make the guy the starter and that's the only
reason he started against Clemson.
Why yank a player after 3 plays if you think he should be the starter?
And why start someone who you think shouldn't start?
Answer : Because of the hype in the media.
The head coach satisfied the media for 3 plays and then went back to coaching.
totally agree Sluggo.
Glad to hear somebody say what a lot of Furman fans had to be thinking. If the kids injured he shouldn't be playing at all and certainly not starting. If he's the third string QB as he might well be then put him in at garbage time in the fourth quarter. The only reason he started was because of the USA Today and other media hype which is absolutely pathetic. It's not even a favorable story about Furman rather its about some crazy loophole in the NCAA rules that makes no sense to anybody. Furman's defense is out there busting their butt's to contain Clemson and we forfeit our first possession with this absurdity ! What kind of message does that send to our team ? Are we playing to win or playing to the media ? Evidently it was the latter and that does a great injustice to the Furman players who are battling to hang in there with one of the top teams in the country and the Furman fans who expect our coaches to do everything they can to support them.
I thought HR was going to be good as the starter; but it's seems crystal clear that the coach is not going with him.
The move at Clemson spoke volumes!
We had very little chance in that game, so there was no reason to pull HR out except the coach wanted a different QB.
I like all the publicity that came because HR started, so I approve of how the coaches handled the situation.
Personally, I would have played HR for the entire 1st half; but that just shows how much the coaches wanted to move
past the HR question.
I graduated from Furman in 1983 summer graduation as a 2nd Lieutenant in the army with a degree in Computer Science/Mathematics.
I keep saying this because a former teammate turned lawyer lied for 35-40 years that I didn't graduate.
