On the road, too. Against a top 15 team.

…..and coaches screwed it up and cost the win.

Has to be the worst coached game I have seen in the CCH era. They need ti get much better.

[FU Hoopla]

1-3 bummer.................


No worries, hoops season is in about a month!

What are your issues with coaching?

I realize you are going to complain about anything. You can't complain about the pass defense today, so what did the coaches do that bothered you so badly?

Well, at least we have VMI on schedule so I feel good about a 2 win season…

embarrassing

We'll win more than that.

This is probably going to end up like our 2021 season. We'll finish above .500 and build for the future.

2021 wasn't sexy, but you probably don't have the 2023 team without the 2021 team taking some lumps.

positive. And here’s a positive. Played with a top 15 on road with a TRUR FR QB. HIS FIRST ROAD START!! Vs. A senior qb. and vs a super senior team

Then I heard - just got on radio - they had 384 yards rushing and we had EIGHTY EIGHTY. Wow. When is the last time a team had THREE HUNDRED MORE rushing yards than us?? Not 300. But 300 MORE

And I think Harris may be out more weeks.

That’s one of the stats. In our game notes - when wa Athena last time? A team had 200. 300 yards rushing. Geez. HAVE TO RUN SOME. AND STOP THE RUN.

I realize I’m gonna have to adjust but as a Furman guy I’ve been raised by our coaches on RUN. AND STOP THE RUN

Sounds like WM can obviously convert third downs because they could RUN. Again hearing the post game and late 4th quarter on radio.

My view of our rushing game is that Hicks and Robinson are better suited to a power scheme. They, like Abrams, Roberto, Wynn, etc., were not really recruited for this zone scheme in Roper's offense. They do better getting north south.

Later in the game, and on the touchdown runs, we started to run them between the tackles. They started to have more success.

I'm not sure we expected Furman to struggle running the ball. Passing game is fine. Protection is fine. We've just gotta start getting some yards on the ground.

Bronson Yoder is one of the best backs in the FCS. They have a big veteran offensive line headlined by an NFL prospect. He was going to get his yards.

The guy we struggled with was the QB. He reminded me of Tyrie Adams, the QB for Western Carolina a few seasons back - a guy you simply could not afford to let get out of the pocket.

At bottom, W&M is where we were last year. They are loaded with veterans and have some excellent players on offense. They were just a bit too much for us tonight. We had our shots, just didn't finish.

Convert that last drive into a TD where we kicked the field goal and I think we win. We were competitive against a top 12 team on the road with a true freshman QB. I see a lot of positives. Young team, doesn't know how to win yet but getting better every week. We'll win more than we lose in the SoCon.
