Everything still in front of us. We'll have plenty of opportunities to make up for Samford. All of that begins with winning today, though. This starts the part of the schedule (Citadel, Western, VMI) where we need to take care of business.
Jackal - agree 100% w Chatt and Mercer ( Mercer playing best in conference imo) looming. These 3 are winnable' (tough but doable) -and if we take all 3 everything is there for us. Get to 6-2 and you can really say 5-1 with d2 and Clemson thrown out. Would be back around 25th rank? something like that...

Win Citadel today - this is a MUST WIN. Need to finish 8-3 to have a shot at playoffs barring something odd.

Stop the big Citadel plays. Make them drive the field. Do not let them have long runs even if we give up some 8-10 yard ones. fine.... Don't turn the ball over on O. It may literally be that simple - maybe...

We'll know more about Mercer in the coming weeks. Their second half schedule is much tougher than the first half.

my worthless opinion is they -at least - will roll western today by double digits

I mean, that might happen. The Western/Mercer game is usually a physical fight.

Western might be better than you think.

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
