FURMAN AT OLE MISS-WE HAVE A CHANCE

[Choir Boy]

What did we expect? ole piss spent more money 800k to acquire Nolen from TAM then they paid us to play them. FUBAR

Worst beatdown since losing to Davidson 77-0 in 1969 when we were the football for fun bunch and gave no svholarships and were still just D1, no fcs. The biggest concerns we had with this team was the OL and secondary. Even considerng who we played I see no signs of encouragement from these two groups.

[Stosh]

I expect everybody realizes we're now in a different world when it comes to college football (and not a better one).

Here are representative scores of a whole bunch of opening day "contests", mostly if not all pro-college teams vs. semipro-college teams: 49 -0; 41-9; 40-0; 57-0; 69-3; 57-0; 52-6; 56-0; 51-0; 48-3; 51-3. The Furman score is all of a piece with these.

Alabama is essentially doing the same thing to Western Kentucky right now - an FBS team.

The only really competitive result is Idaho hanging with Oregon.

This seems like the longest 60 minute game in Furman football history. I can ‘t believe there is still another quarter to go.

I mean, we aren't able to maintain possession and they are taking deep shots. They score and we can't hold the ball.

Ole Miss still has a good shot at a Frank Selvy!

[FUBF24]

They've scored on 11 of 14 offensive possessions... 10 touchdowns... brutal

8 for 8 in the first half and they are still throwing the ball.

According to the graphic, this ties Ole Miss for most points scored, but they've hit this mark twice recently against FCS teams. They put 73 on Mercer last year.

This has to be a new Furman record for most punts in a game: 12.

[The Jackal]

I'm also wondering if we set a record for players. This has got to be nearly everyone on the roster that's been in the game.

[FU Hoopla]

I feel bad for any Furman fan that drove down to watch this game (outside of player parents crowd)

[Afurmanfan]

Don’t feel bad for Furman fans. We have a class team, staff and most of our fans. A lop sided game but no quit in our team. This was an nfl payroll team that we just played.

And Mercer was a playoff team
