This is, unquestionably, the FCS game of the week. 2 Teams that should both be ranked in the Top 15 are both excited about entering the eye of that kinda storm. Furman knew they were going to be a good Team this year. Samford has pleasantly surprised themselves. Now they both wanna prove it to all the other FCS Forecasters. Furman has won sloppily and choppily the past 2 weeks after losing to Clemson while executing more like a Swiss watch. Losing QB Huff is huge…it would be devastating to Furman…except the backup is more than capable of leading Furman to victories as he proved last year with his dynamic play. Samford’s Defense has been better and that’s what will keep this game close and make it as difficult to project as the path of a storm. Gotta go with the Home Team.
FINAL SCORE: Furman 44 - Samford 37 (in OT)
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers,
For he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother
