I agree with Jackal that GSU does not suddenly look like a dominating SEC team just because they beat a Tennessee program in flux. They do look much more like a good and fast FCS program and I believe we can compete with anyone in our classification. Knowing their tendencies as a coaching staff will be a big help to our defensive unit and I expect to see a big improvement in our own offensive performance, although not necessarily in points scored. We ran all over CSU and I doubt we will be able to duplicate that against better competition. However, with first game jitters out of the way and the confidence the big win instilled, I expect our QB play to improve and the play book to expand. Although Grainger played very well, I expect that he will see the field much better next week and in ensuing weeks.
Furman is now a big and strong football team that can hold its own against anyone with the possible exception of a top Power 5 team. This game could well come down to the kicking game and we have a great one. Furman by 10.
Looked at GSU's depth chart. They look a lot like we do.
As best I can tell, Furman is going to need to stop the QB. He's the bell cow.
By contrast, I expect GSU to throw everything they can at Devin Wynn and Co. They feel good about their run defense, and, I'm sure, want to force Darren Grainger to beat them throwing the ball.
