Coach Justin Fuente on Furman

[DeepPurple]

“Thanks again to everybody that came out last Saturday to support our team and I hope you’ll return again this Saturday. We have a heck of a challenge with Furman coming into town. Coach [Clay] Hendricks has done a fine job with those guys, fantastic on the offensive side of the ball right now, they’re averaging 44 points a game. I watched the film last night and their quarterback is playing at an incredible level, he runs it, throws it and then the triple option spreads you out. They do a little bit of everything. I was even more shocked to learn he’s a redshirt freshman today. A really a talented team that went toe-to-toe with Georgia State, who beat Tennessee at Tennessee. They’ve got skilled players and a great team. Defensively, they’re mixing up fronts and going back and forth, so that’s going to be a challenge for us. We’ve got to have a great week of preparation this week, continue to build. It’s obvious we’re not a finished product. Things we talked about yesterday, we’ve got to continue to get embrace the challenge of trying to improve as coaches and as players. We’ll continue to try and get better in all three phases.”

I know this is coach-speak, but hats off to Coach Fuente for giving credit where credit is due.

He is concerned. He actually has to prepare for Furman.
