Norfolk St. v. Coastal Carolina
Bethune-Cookman v. Miami
SELA v. Ole Miss
Idaho St. v. Utah
Cal Poly v. Oregon St.
Idaho v. Wyoming
South Carolina St. v. South Florda
Lamar v. TAMU

Weber St. v. Nevada
New Hampshire v. Florida International
Northwestern St. v. LSU
SEMO v. Missouri
Texas Southern v. Louisiana
Missouri St. v. Tulane
Portland St. v. Boise St.
Montana v. Oregon

Bold: Teams with a punchers chance to win

[Professor Chaos]

I think Cal Poly (@Oregon St) and Idaho (@Wyoming) also have a shot. Hopefully the FCS can put up a crooked number in terms of FBS wins today (unless it's 11 :)).

[MUfan]

Anyone playing GA Tech has a shot.

[Daytripper]

Anyone playing GA Tech has a shot.

You are right. I actually meant to bold that one. And with the way Tennessee has looked....Chatty might have a shot.

[JSUSoutherner]

SEMO ain't keeping that game close.

[Wildcats]

Really hard for me to see any with a chance besides Furman and New Hampshire.

Definitely NOT Idaho lol. Lets see if these teams can prove me wrong .

[MSUBobcat]

SEMO ain't keeping that game close.

This. Tried posting 2x and the damn app logs me out. I was not impressed at all last week. They shouldn't have had any points going into half. A muffed snap by the punter and bad clock management and a roughing the passer call gave them a chance for a 51 yard FG as the half ended. If they keep it within 28, I'd be shocked.

[PaladinNation]

7-3 FU 14:56 2nd

[ElCid]

The Citadel moving it against tech after trading punts. We definitely have a punchers chance. And we score to take the lead. 7-0

[MSUBobcat]

14-3 Furman. Keep it up!

[ElCid]

End of 1st
The Citadel 7
Ga Tech 0

[PaladinFan]

If Furman can close out this half, we'll be in a good spot.

[MSUBobcat]

Va Tech misses long FG. Dins get the ball to start 2nd half. ESPN giving Furman 57.1% win probability going into halftime. Come out, punch em in the mouth and put up points. Keep the crowd out. We're pulling for ya!

[ElCid]

Bulldogs still up 7-6 on Tech. Mid way through 2nd. Yellow Jackets getting frustrated.

Early kick, iffy weather, and a fan base in a bit of a funk. Twitter seems to suggest a lot of the students have already left.

Lot of apathy right now in Blacksburg surrounding Hokie football. Honesty, I think it's a cloud hanging over VTech sports in general after hoops coach Buzz Williams left for Texas A&M.

I really thought Furman had a chance to battle in this one. I'm definitely not someone who drinks the FCS vs FBS kool-aid.

[Milktruck74]

Any conference getting 2 FBS scalps in a season is big. 2 P5 scalps is even bigger....but the SoCon is trackingnfor 2 P5 on the same day. Still a lot of football to play, but it looks good At the half.

Furman's offense has to pick it up a bit. They are covering our downfield passing game, which is a big part of the offense.

VT isn't going to go away. The defense is going to be outmanned with fewer bodies.

I'd love to see us start hitting them with the option.

[ElCid]

Atlanta imploding. Bulldogs should be up 14-6. Dogs but TD under review, seconds left in half.

[ElCid]

The Citadel 14
Ga Tech 6

15 seconds to half.

[PaladinFan]

VT goes up 17-10 over Furman.

Hokies came out hot to begin the second half. Furman needs to weather the storm here and give their defense a breather.

Dogs back up 21-14 over GaTech. But their O is starting to click. Late third.

[PaladinFan]

Furman gets a FG to pull back within 7.

[Daytripper]

Citadel with the 4th down stop....

A Remus Bulmer sighting!!!!

[PaladinFan]

Paladins recover the onside kick!

He is doing real well for us.

21-14 end of third.

[Daytripper]

That's bull****...Furman just got royally screwed.

[PaladinFan]

Furman apparently doesn't recover the onside kick because VT hit a Furman recover man or something.

ACC refs opted to take this game away from Furman.

[ElCid]

Bad bad need in Atlanta. Bulldog QB goes down hard. Not worth a scalp.

[Daytripper]

You are correct. Furman was robbed.

[PaladinFan]

Furman is trending on my twitter feed.

Only ACC refs can create that sort of world.

[Daytripper]

He is doing real well for us.

21-14 end of third.

Good for him. He's a good guy.

Hope we don't get robbed.

[ElCid]

Crap, lost our QB, bad penalty, and almost fumble moved us back and just missed 48 yd fg. Crap. 21-14 still.

[ElCid]

Yeah we were just robbed. Ga Tech td and no call on a holding (take down).

[Daytripper]

Come on, Bulldogs...first down here.

[ElCid]

Coming down to 48 yard FG

[ElCid]

Its goooooood!!!!!!!!

47 yard fg,!!!

Dog 24. Tech 21

1:51 to go. Let's go D!!

[Daytripper]

Nice. Now play some defense. Citadel 24 GT 21 1:51 left.

[TheKingpin28]

What a kick!

[ElCid]

We got ST issues today. Tech at mid field on return. Not good.

[Daytripper]

Not a good start to this series...

[ElCid]

What a sack for 12 yards!

[Daytripper]

Keep them out of the endzone..

[ElCid]

Clutch timeout call by their coach on what was a TD. Hahaha

[ElCid]

But I guess we held up, so it might not have been a TD after all.

[ElCid]

Tech gets fg to tie it up at 24. OT time.

[ElCid]

Tech missed fg! In it. Dogs should kick 32 yarder on 1st down.

[Daytripper]

All Citadel has to do is not turn it over and kick a FG.... Come on, guys!

[kdinva]

Tech gets fg to tie it up at 24. OT time.

tech misses OT FG.......bulldogs ball.

[TheKingpin28]

[Smitty]

Grats Dogs!

[blackbeard]

Great job Dogs!!!

[ElCid]

SELA keeping it close with Miss at half, down by 10 after committing a couple turnovers. Could be closer.

I meant Ole Miss.

[ElCid]

SELA down by 5 at Ole Miss late 3rd. Explains the JSU game a little better....SELA is better.

[Daytripper]

HBU scores and goes for 2 and gets it. 53-52. One minute left.

[Ivytalk]

Congrats to the Bulldogs! Somewhere in SE Asia, CID1990 is knocking back a fine bourbon. Or Scotch. Or something.

[jsualumnus]

Damn fine win by The Citadel! Impressive!!! Congrats ElCid...
