Furman at Clemson Thread

[PaladinFan]

Furman down 10-0 at the second quarter. Paladins are moving the ball well through the air. Still had a fumble lost. Gotta quit that to win.

[PaladinFan]

ball tipped. Furman throws an INT. Dag. We can't beat these guys turning the ball over, their defense is too good.

[PaladinFan]

Touchdown Clemson, 17-0

[kick29]

Yea i know this sucks, i like furman 10 games out of the year. Can't stop the big plays though. Not sure what is going to happen.

[bobbythekidd]

Time?

[kick29]

you can listen to the game on 1340 wrhi just google it.. but it sucks cause it is the clemson announcers they SUCK!

[PaladinFan]

FUrman 97 yrd touchdown on kickoff, called back for holding. Second TD called back for a penalty.

[PaladinFan]

Sorrels comes out slinging the skin

[PaladinFan]

So far Clemson isn't outplaying us, the Paladins are killing drives with penalties.

CU has no answer for Jordan Sorrels yet. He's finding holes.

[kick29]

HECK YEA! i love to watch furman throw the ball too bad they are playing against the zebras too makes it hard to win :0(

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

FUrman 97 yrd touchdown on kickoff, called back for holding. Second TD called back for a penalty.

Wow xbangx xbangx xbangx xbangx

[PaladinFan]

ANOTHER fumble by Furman!!!

We are KILLING ourselves

[PaladinFan]

For information, that is 2 tds called back and 3 turnovers. At least we are moving the ball against the best team in the ACC

[kick29]

Damn! Finally credit by the announcers on stoping the speedster (spiller)

yes a sack baby YES!

[PaladinFan]

Furman shuts down Spiller on two runs and then sacks Harper inside the 15. Get em 'dins.

[PaladinFan]

CJ Spiller 8 rushes for 1 yrd.

[kick29]

big 3rd down baby! let's go!

[kick29]

yes 1st down baby can't stop the quick throw humm scary!

[kick29]

yea some more credit by the OL of the pals!

3rd down again let's GO!! get another one!

[PaladinFan]

If we can move the ball on these guys, and stop fumbling, i'll feel ok about the offense.

[kick29]

yes!!! another 3rd down conversion! yea baby let's go keep it going the offense is starting to get it together

[kick29]

3rd and 13 let's go!

i am thinking a screen or a counter throw over the middle

[kick29]

dude western got another field goal it is 10-6 at georgia
yes baby first down!

[kick29]

1st down again! yes 1:00 left in the first half

[PaladinFan]

Jordan Sorrels throws first incompletion I think.

[kick29]

[PaladinFan]

Beckler fieldgoal 17-3 Tigers with under a minute to go.

[kick29]

it was a good quick drive with some pressure moving the ball down the field and giving the defense of clemson on their heels!

[PaladinFan]

Lets hold em right here Paladins.

[kick29]

end of half

[PaladinFan]

Paladins sack Harper for third time in opening half.

[kick29]

17-3 at half a good half of play noting the crazy turnovers

[OL FU]

Three turnovers, and two touchdowns called back. We have tripped over our own feetxrolleyesx

Let's hear it for a better second halfxnodx

[PaladinFan]

I'm ok with how we are playing. We've made some mistakes and are still standing. Can't afford a second half meltdown like last week

[Peems]

go dins

[PaladinFan]

First half:

Jordan Sorrells- 11/13 for 104
Renaldo Gray- 9/11 for 53

20/24 for 157 :)

Jerome Felton 10 rushes for 28

Clemson

Cullen Harper 6/8 125 :(

James Davis 5 rushes for 36
CJ Spiller 8 rushes 1

[Death Dealer]

O.K., so far we are killing ourselves. Minus the weird last second time-out miscue, and a hold and we are tied at the half. Why do we always seem to shoot ourselves in the foot?xsmhx

[PaladinFan]

If this stat tells you anything....

Furman has 194 total yards to Clemson's 136.
Paladins have 3 penalties for 63 yrds
Paladins have three turnovers.
Paladins have 2 touchdowns called back.

This could very easily be a tie ball game.

[bobbythekidd]

If Furple can get their heads in the game, this is not at all out of reach.

[PaladinFan]

I'm just happy that the offense looks alive.

[PaladinFan]

Furman recovers onside kick to begin the half. Atta way baby.

[PaladinFan]

1st and 20 after an ineligible reciever downfield call.

[89Hen]

onside kick to begin the half.

[PaladinFan]

Harper sacked for the fourth time.

[PaladinFan]

Timeout Tigers.

Four sacks? Blitzing linebackers? Am I hearing the Furman Paladins? Wheres the real team?

[PaladinFan]

First down. 22yrd pass play.

Gotta cut that. Keep em running.

[FCSFAN]

[PaladinFan]

[PaladinFan]

3rd and 1 for CU

[GreatAppSt]

What's the F'ing score?xsmhx

[PaladinFan]

Swing pass for a touchdown to Jacobi Ford. 24-3 Clemson.

[PaladinFan]

Game is frustrating. We can play with this team. move the ball well and then will commit a penalty and kill a drive.

I feel a lot better listening this week than I did last week.

[PaladinFan]

Felton 12 yrd carry. 1st and 10 Paladins on 32

[PaladinFan]

interception Clemson. Prolly the nail in the coffin.

[PaladinFan]

Gosh, Furman's defense is still playing lights out.

CJ Spiller, 9 Carries 0 yards. Folks thats one of the best backs in the country.

[PaladinFan]

Furman forces 3 and out. Clemson punts.

[PaladinFan]

Furman's on pace to put up 400 yrds offense and yet we have 3 pts.

Even the Clemson announcers are talking about how Furman is outplaying Clemson but the CU speed was just too much on a few plays.

[PaladinFan]

Furman moving the ball well again.

Penalty, Personal Foul on Clemson.

[PaladinFan]

3 and 9 Paladins in Clemson Territory.

[PaladinFan]

incomplete, fourth down.

Paladins need a punt of more than 11 yrds

[PaladinFan]

Punt to 24 yrd line of Clemson.

[Peems]

[PaladinFan]

Daggum, broken play gets Clemson good yards.

[PaladinFan]

Touchdown Clemson.

We have sacked their qb 5 times, but we can't keep harper from throwing.

You got onexrotatehx

And we recovered another on-side kick

[OL FU]

384 yards of offense for furman but only 10 points due to 5 turnovers:(

[OL FU]

38-10 Final

Game was always close on the stats and never close on the score:(

[catdaddy2402]

Good game Furman. As always, closer than the Clemson folks would like but never really in doubt.

[kick29]

i think the pals had a great turn out! good job pals i like what they did against clemson?

i am going to enjoy the rest of the season! i think they have a very good defense because they had the offense of clemson? thinking the whole time. If the offense can step up then the (pals) will be ok the rest of the season once we get into regular play!

i am glad so say they are going to beat up the rest of their season because they get to play someone who isn't in their league like clemson?

When someone can switch out players and still be just as good it is hard to win.

[LarryBoy]

I'll just paste what I posted on the UFFP:

Just got back. Some thoughts...

Nice to sit in front of Mr. and Mrs. Flagman. I'm not sure how you got that flag in there, but more power to ya.

Clemson fans were surprisingly kind, though maybe in a "aw, look at the cute little Furman students and their cute little football team" way. Nothing compared to what you'd endure at Kidd Brewer or Paulson.

The offense just looks loads better with Jordan under center. I'm now a convert. Make the switch.

Defensive front: Wow. 5 sacks. Spiller: 9 carries for -1 yard. Davis: 58 yards. Did I mention 5 sacks? And, we had more yards of offense. How did that happen?

We could have left as many as 28 points on the field. The timeout-TD debacle, the block in the back KO return, the wide open dropped pass on third down where Hedden (or Truss) was behind their secondary at the 20, and--one everyone may have missed--the Austin Holmes strip and run the other way that was blown dead well after Austin was trucking it.

Thacker was a spectator in this one. That hurt.

Punting. Oy.

I'm amazed that we were able to convert 2 onsides kicks, but it would be nice if we could have converted one of them (edit: as in points).

And finally...

I rode the student bus, was with a lot of students throughout the day, and the lack of FCS/SoCon/Furman Football knowledge at our school is pitiful. I wish there was a way I could educate them...
