Another big game on Saturday.
Samford has had an up and down season. They started off with a big win over a bad D2 school, Shorter. After that, they suffered four consecutive defeats to Florida State, Mercer, Kennesaw State, and UTC. They then notched big wins over Western and VMI the last two weeks. All of their wins have been at home.
As is well documented, Samford's offense is a one-man band. Devlin Hodges is their bell cow. He is virtually impossible to stop completely, and will get his yards, however he's been far more turnover prone than in years' past. Hodges has already been picked 12 times this season after throwing only 11 all last year.
Defensively, they've had a lot of turnover. I think Furman will be able to move the ball on them.
The good news is the book on beating Samford is out there. Mercer, UTC, and KSU used largely the same defensive playbook and beat them three straight weeks. VMI and WCU don't have the defensive players to do that, and got into a track meet.
