Just like I said the Citadel is stoopid for not throwing more.Wide open receivers all day. If someone not open just take off and run for 30 yds. Citadel is playing without their top 4 receivers.

Not over, all Citadel has to do is keep throwing, Our last drive looked like we thought we had enough, maybe not.

We’re already playing the clock in the third quarter trying to sit on a lead.

That's the right call against this team.

They're not really showing any ability of stopping Roberto at this point. Their offense has to score twice and are not built to strike quickly.

If we don’t try to be cute and just keep giving it to #8, this game is over.
We don't need to do anything different until they prove they can stop it.

The Bulldog defense wants nothing to do with out OL and RBs right now.

FG time. Geesh

Not sure. It's an 11 point lead, so Citadel's going to need a touchdown, 2 pt, and FG to tie.

A FG gets you to a 14 pt lead and forces two touchdowns.

A first down can let Furman drain a bunch more clock and get closer to scoring. A touchdown would likely break the Citadel here.

The offense wants to go for it. Let them go for it.

Literally why do you follow this team.

I saw our 2005 team struggle to beat the Citadel in Charleston. A win is a win against this team.

Poor decision continue today.....14 is not superior enough to 11 to NOT go for it there,......and we stupidly burn a to to make that decision. We should have that choice in mind before 4th down.

I’m not worried.
I try to be fair - Citadel is a hard place to win. THat said, I am not worried about today. Good stuff.

I AM WORRIED that we still can't keep discipline with WRs - WTH ? We are just losing guys wide open. I don't understand. we should be worried = this is the 3rd or 4th game we are just LOSING RECEIVERS on deep balls..

Or here- to quote our own radio guys on 97.7 "its a good thing they are throwing where the receiver has to jump or fall over to catch it.. otherwise some of the catches would go to the house as the Paladin DBs are not close enough to the receiver. " AGAIN, we are letting guys get wide a open. This was on the 85 yd td drive they had in Q3, I think this particular pass was to Njoko or however you spell. it.

Punt again! CCH has shown the offense he has no confidence in them . Not good for morale. So we gain 30 yds, big whoopn deal.
