13 - 3.. thats the game right there
If they start this next drive which is likely the less one with a run up the middle... SD will call for a Congressional investigation

Still as good as the defense is when we really need a stop they come up shirt. Up 10 last week give up long drive for td. End of game give up long drive fir td. Today finally get withing reach. They give up a long drive for fg.
That’s not realistic. Chatt has a decent offense with 2 really good rb’s. You are asking too much of our offense . They have 10 points. They dropped 55 on Samford. Not a fair criticism.
Its all on the offense for sure. Still we get within one score and we give up points their next 2 possessions and we’ve run 3 plays in the meantime. Granted the D has agan played winning fb and the offense has not. Still regardless we have had to have a stop 4 times in the last 2 games. The D 0-4, mainly because third and long is a layup for the opposing O.

This offense, with all due respect to all who are trying as hard as they can, makes the old Sorrell's O look lTom Brady-ish
Sorrels offense was awful and self serving. It was light year better than this O C’ s

Coach Hendrix early postgame comments:

We sucked on offense. I give up. I don’t know what to do. Two years in a row. Our players are bigger and faster and better but yet our offense is worse. It is on me. I take full responsibility.

I wish him the best as he tries to right the ship and figure out the problem.

CCH pregame comment. I watched the tape of the spring game with utc and we are so much better now than we were then. :lol: :lol:

Fourth and 5 down by 10 and we punt. Great effort by our D was wasted… again.The O scheme and play calling was awful in the spring but it was a weird season so I really thought we would adjust in the off season.It is painfully obvious we didn’t do squat to make it better in the summer/fall. Our D will keep us close the rest of the year .. hope we can win a few games, this team has played hard all season and deserves better.

This was truly a sad thing to watch and listen to. Very few fan bases will stick around for efforts like this one. No fan base will grow. Make changes or say you don’t care about Furman football but please don’t pass this off as a rebuilding year or wait until next year prognosis.

and the "4 completion rule of AP" (he posted how we couldn't win with 4 completions a few weeks ago) is proven... we went 4 -14 -1 4 completions and one INT. W O W 4 pass completions?? They caught 25% as many of our passes as we did. Good grief man - OC better get some shizzle together.

Heck, the refs tried to help some..

Doesn't matter - for those that say UTC has no offense here is the final total:
Furman - 157 yards TOTAL (about the worst I have seen from us in 25 years)
UTC - 400+ yards . It seemed they had less because it was a 'slow ' game but they almost tripled us in yards.


And again - yards per rush attempt
UTC - 45 rushes, strong 5.4 per attempt, 245 yards total rushing
FU- 29 rushes, 3.8 per attempt, 110 total rushing yards.
*I still think we need 150-200 yards rushing per game to have a good chance in most games. We have rushed for 75 v ETSU and 110 v UTC.. both losses.

I have hope for the remaining 3 games as I think UTC is basically a better team than the last 3. And I think we can get more on the ground vs some of these last teams
