FU fans have a lot to be proud of after one of the great college playoff games I have ever seen. Forget the idiotic comments from the usual group of board cretins. They simply don't get it. Our offense, which has been problematic all season, was good enough to put up 28 points against one of the best D's in the nation. The Griz D had a great game plan and implemented it exceptionally well. Kudos to the Griz and their staff. And yet, we scored enough points to win the game
except for a few special teams' lapses. It happens. Our defensive effort was magnificent and memorable. We shut down one of the highest scoring offenses in the nation and stopped the freshman best-in-the-nation RB dead in his tracks. Tremendous credit to the players and Coach Vaughn and his staff for that performance. (Standing O) We played without Dominick Roberto, one the best RB's in the nation and with a gutsy QB who was still hurting. And yet, we came within a hair of the upset as 18 point underdogs. Congratulations to our players and staff for a magnificent and courageous effort that will not soon be forgotten.
Great post. FUBeAR can’t say it any better.
The only thing FUBeAR would amend is that he agrees there were “lapses” on “a few special teams” plays, specifically the 2 TD returns, but he’s not sure that it was the Furman Players or Coaches who ‘lapsed’ on those 2 plays.
