Positives from today!

UTC comeback over Citadel was close to miraculous. IMHO that game means I know we are in the playoffs NOW. Otherwise it was “iffy” depending on the results of the Wofford-Citadel game.

We also can still win a share of the Southern Conference Championship.

Positives from the Furman game:

Nothing on the field per se after our TD play.

Still enjoyed the trip and chatting with different Furman fans including Bootie.

GO FURMAN!

It's always fun to go to an away game and visit with fellow Paladin fans. I enjoyed lunch at Ike's today with the welcoming crew of fans there, too. I'll stick with these positives!

Pioneer League exists and would probably accept us?

None. One thing this team hasn’t done all year is play physical. I have posted it and gotten a lot of boos but watch the film all year. Furman is a finesse team and that has no place in football.
Except we have. We have put up big time yards several times this season. I do agree the early season success the OL showed seems to be fading. We really pushed around several teams and just had our way (CSU, Mercer, Samford, and VMI). Who knows, maybe that was more finesse running instead of knocking folks off the ball? Either way, when we can’t run or pass we are not gonna win games.

No doubt who was the more physical team today. Also they were quite chippy at times. I did not expect us to lay an egg in our biggest game in two years. Wofford had a lot to do with that.

Slight correction. We had the opportunity to win the championship today. We now have the chance to back into a share of the title relying on others.

Very disappointing. And Wofford knew it. Lot of smack talk at the end and nothing we could say. Two stops on 4th and goal. Pretty embarrassing. I hope our players stew about this game for a year.

I despise Wofford like no other team. I can’t stand their trash talking and antics, unfortunately they backed it up today. Teams like that need to be punched....we didn’t do it!

Giving credit where due. Paladindeuce basically told me Wofford (too physical) OL would beat up our DL and our safeties need to be in different position and more aggressive. He literally told me what would happen today before the game was ever played. Man it was like watching him have that pyschic ESP’N or something ...

Biggest positive is that it's over.

I hope & pray we do not go back to Little Dog City in the 2nd Round of the playoffs.
