On 1st and 2nd down, AP played 11 men in the box. It's impossible to run effectively against a stout defense that is able to line up that way. Good chance the Paladins don't score a TD this game.
Furman was OK against FBS teams when there was no expectation to win. Against quality FCS opponents, the Paladins were destroyed by Citadel and Wofford, and now are on track for the same thing against APSU. They just aren't very good. And yes, the SoCon is this bad.
