[PaladinFan]

well, can't say you haven't seen four turnovers in three plays anymore.

[Blue Hen Nation]

This is fecking crazy!!!

[HensRock]

OK That HAS to be some kind of record.
Our QB threw interceptions on 2 consecutive plays from scrimmage.

AND THEN another interception on the Next play for FURMAN!!!!

[UNHWildCats]

[PaladinFan]

Seriously, what will it take?

[PaladinFan]

Furman's Brown looks like he's done at least for the day.

[PaladinFan]

My guess is both teams are pretty much gassed at the moment.

[93henfan]

Furple at own 17 - 1st and 10

[Blue Hen Nation]

Keeler has some explaining to do.

[PaladinFan]

Furman down to third running back with #1,2 on the bench.

[93henfan]

[HensRock]

RITACCO

[93henfan]

How can you put Schoenhoft back on the field, like, ever? The guy couldn't hit Oprah's butt standing on her back.

[HensRock]

FU should run on 3rd and 9

EDIT: ..and they do
smart play call

[93henfan]

Furman to punt - 3 and out

[PaladinFan]

Punt em deep. Force Schoenhoft to beat us.

1st Down Del at Furm 47

[Blue Hen Nation]

My word, our offensive play calling is a joke!

[93henfan]

Another UD 1st down inside Furm 35

[Blue Hen Nation]

What are the odds of another INT?

[93henfan]

Penalty on Furman - illegal sub - 5 yds

[PaladinFan]

Win or lose, I'm daggum proud of the Paladin defense. They've showed some mettle.

[93henfan]

What are the odds of another INT?

Silence, you.

[93henfan]

1st down UD inside 20!

[Nebuta]

Amazing that the Hens are still in this one even with the poor performance from the QB.

[Blue Hen Nation]

Penn 14
Nova 14

[93henfan]

Delaware TD!!!! - Love 14 yds

[Blue Hen Nation]

Damn this delay lol

[93henfan]

23-21

[Blue Hen Nation]

Love stepping it up!

[PaladinFan]

Ohhhh buddy I hope this missed xpt doesnt come back to kill us. I will not have a good evening.

Man, what a fun game.

[Blue Hen Nation]

This is going to get interesting.

[PaladinFan]

UD has two timeouts and 2:45 left.

[93henfan]

How about a snap over Furman punter for safety and OT?:p

[Blue Hen Nation]

How about a snap over Furman punter for safety and OT?:p

Par for the course if you ask me.

[Blue Hen Nation]

Throwing the ball - wow!

[PaladinFan]

No penalties, no turnovers Furman.

UD has one TO left.

[PaladinFan]

Furman is hamstringged. Down to just freshmen in the backfield. Grinding the clock may not be a choice.

[93henfan]

Final TO by Delaware...

3rd and 1 - this is the game boys...

[Blue Hen Nation]

With only three yards for the first, it's not looking good.

[PaladinFan]

5'8 216 goes by the name "Tank."

[Blue Hen Nation]

This is your game.

[93henfan]

Too close to call...

[93henfan]

1st Down - Ballgame - congrats Furman

[PaladinFan]

First Down!!!

Huge

[PaladinFan]

Can we knee on this thing yet?

[Blue Hen Nation]

Congratulations Furman, you have a fine football team. Good luck in the SoCon!

[PaladinFan]

UD. Go type in Miracle on the Mountain in Youtube. You'll see why i don't consider a win until 0:00

[93henfan]

Furman takes knee - congrats - see ya next year - with a decent QB hopefully

[PaladinFan]

UD fans, been great fun. I think we head up to Delaware next season, you can repay the favor.

[93henfan]

FINAL 23-21 Furman

[Death Dealer]

whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need a drink!!!!!!!!!!!

[PaladinFan]

That's a gritty win that makes a championship team. No one looked at Furman as a potential conference contender in the preseason. Bet they are looking now.

[Blue Hen Nation]

Well deserved - savor it!

[HensRock]

Even if we had won this one today, Delaware does not belong in the top 10.

Good game Furman. Good luck with the rest of your season.

[Blue Hen Nation]

We're in for a rough season.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Congrats to Furman on a well earned victory.

Delaware needs to find a way to limit mistakes at the QB position to beat any of the top FCS teams this year. xnonono2x

[Nebuta]

Congrats Furman on the hard fought win. Way to represent the SoCon.
Great win for the program. Furman didnt play well, (some costly penalties) but still manage to do what they had to do to get the Victory. A WIN is a WIN. Best of the luck as Conference play starts. Hopefully you will make a big splash on your way to a playoff run.

For Delaware, time to regroup from that poor performance all around from the coaching staff to the players on the field. Way to many mistakes. Coaching staff needs to not abandon a run especially after the QB throws INT and to allow him to throw again for another INT instead of run.
UD need to tighten up all of those costly turnovers.
On a positive note, only lose by 2 points and the back up QB is better then the starter.

My sig was up many weeks before the season started...no reason to change it. I don't care about his awkward throwing style...I've watched him for a while and the guy just throws some "stupid" balls.

[The Dude]

Wow, what a game. Felt like it would never end.

I'm proud of the Paladins, standing up to a very tough Delaware team.

Good luck, Delaware, on the rest of your season. The CAA is a difficult league, but I know y'all will bounce back.

[HensRock]

On a positive note, only lose by 2 points and the back up QB is better then the starter.

The fact that the backup is better than the starter cannot be positive unless he actually sees the field.

Really really disappointed in the coaching staff on this one.
Keeler can say the team underacheived all he wants. The coaches did not put the team in a position to win. And it's starts with their choce of Quarterback and ends with their failure to recognize (or admit) it.

[Nebuta]

The fact that the backup is better than the starter cannot be positive unless he actually sees the field.

True. Ritacco should be a better fit and according to coaches the QB competition came down to the last days before Maryland.

Schoenhoft has the dubious distinction for he tied a school record by throwing four interceptions today.

[caribbeanhen]

lets see, lets pay 7.95 to slowly torture myself on saturday afternoon

[HensRock]

Schoenhoft has the dubious distinction for he tied a school record by throwing four interceptions today.

I'm thinking 2 INTs on consecutive plays from scrimmage has to be a NCAA record. Maybe a football record for all levels of play.

[PaladinFan]

how about three consecutive plays when you factor in Sorrell's

[PaladinFan]

How's this for strange

UD ran 12 more plays and converted 8 more first downs than Furman yet only held the ball for less than a minute more.

[furman94]

GREAT GAME! GREAT WIN! Great opponent! Delaware has a class program. The visiting fans were all very nice! Good luck in the CAA!

[89Hen]

Congrats FU. I missed the entire game thanks to coaching soccer. My brothers who were at the game said it wasn't really as close as the scoreboard would indicate. I wasn't sure if they were just bummed or if that was accurate. :(

[89Hen]

BTW, I take full responsibility for this loss. I had picked 24-20 Furman on the GoHens pool, but changed it to Hens 24-20 this morning. xoopsx

[bjtheflamesfan]

THis will shake the ballots up somewhat tonight

[caribbeanhen]

i disagree with your brothers assesment...with 4 picks including 1 for a TD Delaware should have lost by much more...the reason the did'nt lose by more is they were better on the LOS...that statement might seem outlandish but thats what I saw...just got killed by all the mistakes
RS had all day to throw
the Delaware D played very well (minus the big plays)

[appvette]

Congrats Furples!

[aust42]

23-21 final score. I missed the entire game due to a crabfest feast. My buddy said Schoenhoft had 4 interceptions and a fumble. 5 turnovers by our QB. Sounds like Delaware beat themselves? Pray tell.

[furman94]

No... not really. Furman beat Delaware!

[LarryBoy]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we needed some warm bodies out there in order to catch those interceptions. Furman may have had a hand in the outcome.

Never. You've been handed a pissed-off Hens squad at home, so wear your cups next week. You guys seem fortunate to draw Delaware on our suck years, you bastages. Should be a great game next week.

[furman94]

Haha... have fun!

Both teams played pretty sloppy. Schoenhoft's turnovers didn't help but FU had 3 of their own.

UD had some pretty untimely (and big...15 yard variety) penalties that didn't help either.

UD really threw the ball too much considering how well they were running the ball on us. Really surprised they didn't just grind it out on the ground after that nice drive they had in the 1st. Also surprised they didn't target Agnone more than they did.

Overall, UD certainly didn't help themselves out but it wasn't like UD's screw ups were the only reason FU won. FU did play well enough, and the secondary had a good game (probably figured that out from the 4 INT's) and made some very big plays (the INT for the TD and the INT in the endzone to end a UD drive).

It's late and I'm tired from driving all day, but hopefully that little rundown helps (and that it made sense:p ...I'm beat!xnodx

[93henfan]

And don't forget the blown call on the punt. Delaware punts, FU returner catches ball and is immediately popped by Delaware cover man, fumbles and Delaware recovers in scoring position.

SoCon ref throws flag. One big problem. Two-yard halo rule was done away with. There was no penalty on the play. KC explains this to refs, as could clearly be heard on the radio. SoCon refs won't listen. Call wrongfully stands.

Those three+ points alone win the game for Delaware.

Oh well. Thems da breaks!

I'm with you there. Definitely a blown call.

I could run down a list (don't feel like it at the moment), but both teams received their share of blown calls (including a blatant pass interference no-call that cost the Paladins 3 or 7 points). That's the way that SoCon refs roll; they're normally pretty bad, but at least they're pretty bad for both teams.

Thank you. That's all I was looking for an was honest assessment of the game. Hopefully we'll meet again in the playoffs even though we've started out 1-2. We can only afford one more loss. I still have faith.
