Nasir Player with yet another cheap shot against Grainger. Grabbed his facemask and tried to rip his head off.

[Redbird 4th & short]

Payback time ... ETSU took your playoff spot last year IMO.

[FUGameBreaker]

FU leads 10-0

[FUGameBreaker]

FU leads 10-7 at Halftime, a costly turnover by FU leads to a short field TD for ETSU to keep them within striking distance before the break, game is to close for comfort

[rtzlunar]

Not watching the game but following the play-by-play on ESPN.com. Why did ETSU not try a Hail Mary to end the half?

Maybe ETSU QB can't throw it 50-60 yards xdontknowx

[ETSUfan1]

Bucs playing well.

[rtzlunar]

Looks like all ETSU since the first quarter. Surprised

Bucs playing well.

I said coming into the game that the Bucs probably had the SoCon's best defense. Furman is probably up there too. They've played like it. Furman is 1-6 on third downs, and was at 50% this season.

You knew the freshman QB would eventually have an off day. Just not hitting his throws and the Bucs are bringing everyone up front.

[FUGameBreaker]

FU leads 17-10

If ETSU wasn’t down to their 3rd string QB, the offense would not struggle like they do. We have the backs, just need better QB play.

That was a gritty gutty win by Furman. Good teams are going to have games like that, where they have to grind out a win when things aren't working. Wasn't the prettiest game, but a win is a win and puts one in the barn against an ETSU team that I think will be there in the end.

Grainger didn't have an impressive day. The Paladin offense will have growing pains with a freshman QB. It's nice to know the defense can step up and make plays.

Hats off to ETSU's defense. They've got a strong unit that was able to slow down a Furman attack that most teams haven't been able to. I didn't think the 17 point spread was likely, but I thought Furman was going to have to score more than 17 to win.

Pretty ugly game for Furman's offense. Hard to think Furman is more than a slight favorite at Samford, if even that.

Yep, we are going to have to step up on the road and play like the SoCon power we want to be seen as

Samfords defense isn’t ETSUs defense.

Samfords also gotta figure out a way to score on Furman. The Paladin defense isn’t giving up much

[FUGameBreaker]

Good news, ETSU beat Austin Peay last weekend, Austin Peay leads #11 JSU right now 31-7

[FUGameBreaker]

Furman @ Samford next Saturday will be for 1st place in SoCon

Citadel put 55 on them at Samford. After an ugly day on offense against easily the best D in the conference, I’m sure Furman will have a few more points to play with. Not saying there are no concerns on offense but these games make Furman better.

Citadel put 55 on them with a QB that basically can't run. Samford loaded 9 in the box most of the second half.

granted, that 55 was in FOUR OTs !!! but 38 in regulation

Samford has been improving each week. It will a good game next week. They might be down as well after the emotional turmoil of our game. The thing I hate about them is their ability to score so quickly. We finally had the game under control until they got in gear. Their QB situation will be interesting with the starter going down. But the current #2 did fine...obviously. Better passer overall, I think.

What exactly happened to the Samford starter? (I know Rainey was gimpy as well) He was there and then I looked back and Welch was in ?

Gimpy ankle on a rush. Planted wrong or something like that.

thanks - so both are probably available

He was "heavily taped" afterward, but probably.

[PaladinFan]

Of course, part of Oladokun's game is his running ability. He tried to go back out, but couldn't push off on his throws.

Welch is a guy they know they can rely on.

They were both 9/18 passing, but Welsh had 3 TDs. We pretty much held both when they rushed to short gains.

I'm actually interested in watching Furman's defensive approach next week. Furman rotates 5 or 6 CBs every game, so I'll be excited to see how they deploy them against the pass happy Bulldogs

That was a great game. Was hoping we would have pulled it out but it was not meant to be. Best of luck to you the rest of the season.
