Incarnate Word

[The Jackal]

Yes, very impressive! Flagman, cancel your reservations. We are going to get our butts kicked. No mistakes by us, and dictate the tempo as much as possible.

Just a flashback to last season.

Incarnate Word also put up big offensive numbers in 2021 (last fall). They averaged around 39 points and had 4700 yards passing. They went 9-2 and made the post season.

They won a first round shootout against Stephen F. Austin (a former Southland team). They then lost a shootout to #1 seed Sam Houston State, a conference foe, in the second round.

Sam Houston proceeded to host the #8 seed Montana State and was hammered 49-12.

So, these high flying Southland teams put up a bunch of points against one another, but a physical team like Montana State put all that to rest.

From LSU to Incarnate Word, 7th-year QB Lindsey Scott Jr. is thriving at his 5th school

Last week a TWENTY THREE yr old NC State starter.. this week an LSU / Missouri SEVENTH YEAR (24?).. I am glad we may get Huff again but I think 6 years ought to be the cap. When you start talking seventh year of playing in college it just seems wrong to me somehow

I cannot pass up this opportunity.

FUBeAR spent 7 years at FU. FUBeAR is not a Doctor.

Saturday's game appears to be a match-up of Video Game vs. Old School.

Pretty much everyone has picked us to lose every recent game except Wofford. They've been wrong every time.

I quote one fcs youtuber in reference to the Elon game. “I will be shockef if Furman comes up with a win”.

Back in 1985, yep some of you weren’t born yet, we played Rhode Island in the playoffs and their air attack. I know different era, but we kicked the living crap out of them. I’m not saying we will do this to IWU, but we can play with anybody. I firmly believe this. We play hard nosed physical ball and we can light it up too. At this time of the year style points mean nothing, just win!

as i recall rhode island took the ball down the field after the opening k o and scored taking a 7-0 lead.then our defense said "that's all!"

Just an observation.

Hendrix noted in his post-game presser that Furman isn't really hiding what they are doing defensively - trying to stop the run and make teams one dimensional. If you look back at the prior weeks' games, you can see a bit of a trend.

UTC - Furman stopped the run and UTC was limited to moving the ball with crossing routes to receivers.
Mercer - Furman stopped the run and Mercer was limited to moving the ball by trying to find ways to get it to Devron Harper and hoping he broke some tackles
Wofford -Furman stopped the run and Wofford was limited to moving the ball with 50/50 jump balls on post routes
Elon - Furman stopped the run and Elon was limited to moving the ball with 5 wideouts and QB draws.

Saw an early line UIW -8.5. Looking forwa4d to hearing what CCH has to say n his show at 1pm. Weatherwise just like last week the forecast has gone from 74 and sunny to 70 cloudy 30% chance of showers. Imagine that.

I hope they chat a bit about the Texas connections.

We've got 10 Texas players and the program has never played a program in the State. So, a cool experience for those guys.

Not a factor or issue for this game… Furman notes is listing nine players from Texas.
A quick scan of the roster no J Wilson.
No surprise.

I had wondered. With the flurry of activity in the transfer portal, his name had not shown up (as of the last time I checked).

With his ask to redshirt, a freshman behind him, and another Qb commit for 2023, I imagine that surprises nobody.

wow iw -8.5. even vegas thinks we are rodney dangerfield.

Would be great if we won a 10-7 defensive struggle. Don’t want to score unnecessary points until all FBS OC jobs are filled. Streeter’s situation has me a little concerned.
