App/Furman game thread

[Hansel]

starting soon

go Paladins

[Hansel]

First mention is of IA transfers :(

[ButlerGSU]

I the I-A spooning by ESPN begin!

[ButlerGSU]

What's up with App State's empty stadium?

[Hansel]

What's up with App State's empty stadium?
too cold?

[swaghook]

App moving the ball well

[ButlerGSU]

Quiet in here today, where is everyone?

TD ASU.

[GSU Eagle]

Furman's defense was non-existant on that drive. ASU 7 fURMAN 0

[*****]

Yeah game underway
12:39 1Q
0-0

App at the Fur 4

[swaghook]

Internet radio feed is delayed I just read about the TD before hearing it.

[*****]

Richardson 4 yd TD run
12:12 1Q
App 7-0

[ButlerGSU]

Who is everyone pulling for in this game? I don't really have a team in this game. Who does UNI match up against best?

[thirdgendin]

Is anyone having luck with either radio? The Furman radio is just static, and now I can't get the ASU radio to load either.

[swaghook]

I'm listening to the App St feed. I had to hit play to get it started. Pulling for a UNI - App St game.

[LeopardFan04]

Big pass breakup, Furman punts...

[GSU Eagle]

For Furman to win this game I predict they will have to score at least 31 points.

[*****]

Furman 3nOut
9:35 1Q
App on their own 14
App 7-0

[LeopardFan04]

sweet option keeper...another App St 1st down

[Hansel]

App looks good early

[HiHiYikas]

Somebody start taking donations for a #49 groin surgery fund.

[Wellington]

Yeah, I love Appalachians play calling, it proves to be very tricky, yet effective. App deserves to go all the way :bow:

[ButlerGSU]

Williams hurt?

[Hansel]

nice start for "i love trey elder"

[ButlerGSU]

Back up not too shabby...

TD App State

[LeopardFan04]

TD App St!

[swaghook]

App looks good earlyUNI looked good in the start as well and that one was to close for comfort in the end. App St better play this well for the whole game.

[ButlerGSU]

Hey Ralph, which team does UNI matchup best against?

[*****]

Richie out, Trey Elder throws a TD on the next play to Jackson
6:36 1Q
App 14-0

[Hansel]

Hey Ralph, which team does UNI matchup best against?
don't know who the better matchup for UNI is, but if FU wins there will be more purple in Chatty than at a Massachusetts wedding

[ButlerGSU]

What a pass on the scramble!

[Hansel]

Furman moving the ball

[Ivytalk]

don't know who the better matchup for UNI is, but if FU wins there will be more purple in Chatty than at a Massachusetts wedding

Good one, Hansel! :D

I'm pulling for Furman because we know the family of its backup fullback.

[blukeys]

don't know who the better matchup for UNI is, but if FU wins there will be more purple in Chatty than at a Massachusetts wedding


And it will guarantee that the NC will be a purple team for the 2nd year in row.

[ButlerGSU]

Ouch

Furmans kicker has missed 6 out of his last 7 FGs.

[thirdgendin]

Ouch

Furmans kicker has missed 6 out of his last 7 FGs.

Don't be surprised if Ingle kicks FGs from here on out. Beckler has lost it.

[HiHiYikas]

Don't be surprised if Ingle kicks FGs from here on out. Beckler has lost it.

Meanwhile, not a miss of any kind for Rauch in the postseason.

[HiHiYikas]

thirdgen, I think we're the only 2 fans not in Boone right now.

[nlwwln]

app looks real good, they dont look like they have any weak spots and they seem to be pretty deep, furman looks like they are playin on their heels but i dont expect that to keep up

[Mr. C]

Williams has a right ankle sprain but is available to play, if needed

[GSU Eagle]

Furman needs to put points on the board on this drive. This game could still turn out to be a 38-31 type game.

If Richie Williams is out for the rest of the game Furman's chances definitely improve.

[ButlerGSU]

Doesn't look like a full house, esp for a semi final game.

[nlwwln]

furman needs to get that fullback involved more, hes a beast

[HiHiYikas]

Doesn't look like a full house, esp for a semi final game.

That is odd, they've already said that attendance is higher than capacity. I am not a good estimator of attendance, though.

[Hansel]

Felton says "GET OFF ME" TD Furman

[HiHiYikas]

Felton says "GET OFF ME" TD Furman

kid looks like a lineman...geeze

[nlwwln]

feltons only a sophmore to, thats scary

[GSU Eagle]

Furman just responded. This one will go down the to last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter. These 2 teams are very close to each other in talent.

[Hansel]

i hate squib kicks

[GaSouthern]

this is great to see the SoCon represented today!!

[nlwwln]

my guess is richie will be back in the second half

[HiHiYikas]

That is odd, they've already said that attendance is higher than capacity. I am not a good estimator of attendance, though.

And Furman has done a very good job putting fans on the East side of the stadium. Way to travel, Paladins. Looks pretty certain we've broken our playoff attendance record today, and that may not have happened without all that Purple over there.

[thirdgendin]

Felton is a monster. Already has over 30 touchdowns in his first two seasons.

I wish I could be there...listening is torture!

[GaSouthern]

any idea in attendance?

[HiHiYikas]

Felton is a monster. Already has over 30 touchdowns in his first two seasons.

I wish I could be there...listening is torture!

No ESPN2?

[Hansel]

FUMBLE

FU Ball

[ButlerGSU]

That is odd, they've already said that attendance is higher than capacity. I am not a good estimator of attendance, though.

Must be waiting in lines at the porta potties. Lot of open spots in the stands. Looks crowded and they sound loud but I expected the place to be PACKED with ASU playing for a chance to go to their first NC game.

[Hansel]

Nice "chainsaw" move by the FU defender

[HiHiYikas]

FUMBLE

FU Ball

That has got to be one of the first times Elder's been running in the open field with guys swatting at the ball.

[Hansel]

App needs to tackle better

[ButlerGSU]

What a run! We might get another great game today.

[Hansel]

TD Paladins

nice run by martin

[blukeys]

Wow nice move by Martin

[GaSouthern]

this game is nuts!!!

[ButlerGSU]

Someone bench Furmans kicker, he SUCKS

[HiHiYikas]

this game is nuts!!!
B E C K L E R ! ! !

[Hansel]

Beckler having a good game :o

Hope we get a shootout

[blukeys]

I gotta admit the ESPN2 commentary is pretty decent. Of course Rod Gilmore isn't there.

[thirdgendin]

I'm telling you, Beckler needs to sit on the bench. Ingle kicked a 56-yarder in high school and is more than capable of kicking.

[nlwwln]

i think im having deja vu...isnt this just how last nights game started? :confused:

[GSU Eagle]

Furman's kicker may cost them this game. Missing extra points-- come on.

I like Furman's chances in this game if R. Williams doesn't play anymore

[HiHiYikas]

I gotta admit the ESPN2 commentary is pretty decent. Of course Rod Gilmore isn't there.

My only gripe so far is the "Appa-LAY-shun" State by the woman on the field. That's not a terribly big deal, though.

[Coastal89]

I just hope they don't go for two after the next TD

[Mr. C]

Word is Williams is now officially out for the game

[bodoyle]

B-O-O-H-O-O

He's a good player, but I dont like him and cant wait to see Mr. C's article on iaa.org if they lose this game...."it was a valiant effort by an undermanned App State team and had they had the God-like Richie Williams on the field it would have been a different story"...HOMER!

I thought that place was in the mountians? It looks like it is in the middle of a garbage dump! Trees and garbage all over. Not a knock, just pointing out what I see on the tv.

[GSU Eagle]

If ASU wins it will have to be with Elder quarterbacking. Announcers just said Williams would not return today.

I really like Furman's chances right now

[thirdgendin]

I just hope they don't go for two after the next TD

We successfully ran for two point conversions against ASU in '04 and '05. Felton will probably get the ball if we need to go for two.

Richie is not officially out for the game. That is huge news. Hate to hear it for such a great player, but it makes Furman's prospects increase greatly.

[Catmendue2]

Without R williams Furman will win

[HiHiYikas]

If ASU wins it will have to be with Elder quarterbacking. Announcers just said Williams would not return today.

I really like Furman's chances right now

That's the toughest of breaks. Not sure what to say that isn't already pretty obvious.

[ButlerGSU]

Furman needs to go for two, I wouldn't let that kicker back on the field for anything. He's terrible.

[LeopardFan04]

How much has Elder played this year?

[nlwwln]

elder aint to bad, better hold onto that football though

[bodoyle]

That FB/RB/Dumptruck on Furman planted that poor dude from App St like he was a bug on a windshield. xlolx xlolx

[HiHiYikas]

Furman needs to go for two, I wouldn't let that kicker back on the field for anything. He's terrible.
With all the criticism I've heard aimed at Julian Rauch this year, I never realized Furman had such problems at kicker.

[blukeys]

How much has Elder played this year?

Ask appalachianbabe. :rolleyes:

[GaSouthern]

lets goooo appy.... DRIVE!

[thirdgendin]

With all the criticism I've heard aimed at Julian Rauch this year, I never realized Furman had such problems at kicker.

We didn't until the last four weeks. I believe Beckler has been second team all-SoCon each of the last two years.

He's gone Mark Wholers on us.

[LeopardFan04]

Ask appalachianbabe. :rolleyes:

haha...think I'd rather just stay clueless...

[Mr. C]

Without R williams Furman will win
You obviously know nothing about Elder. He scorched Texas State for 41 points last year

[HiHiYikas]

haha...think I'd rather just stay clueless...
Every win has been by at least 8 points, and some have been pretty one-sided. That being the case, Elder has taken quite a few 2nd-half snaps. Not sure how many, and positive none have been in games this big.

[GaSouthern]

GOOOOOOO APPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LeopardFan04]

Every win has been by at least 8 points, and some have been pretty one-sided. That being the case, Elder has taken quite a few 2nd-half snaps. Not sure how many, and positive none have been in games this big.

thanks...wasn't sure if he rotated in with Williams or was strictly a backup...that said...another TD for APPST

[blukeys]

So far this has been a very good I-AA weekend. Both games are entertaining and the venues look better than many of the Thursday night MAC or Sunbelt games.

[buckp]

Score now?

....no TV at work. :o

[bodoyle]

21-13 app

[LeopardFan04]

21-13 APPST

[HiHiYikas]

man, let's stop hurting people

[blukeys]

How many years of eligibility does Felton have?

[buckp]

Thanks guys.....I'm supposed to be supervising our yearly inventory and can't listen to anything. ;)

[Hansel]

Man there is some hitting going on out there :nod:

[blukeys]

Lot of good hitting today.

[LeopardFan04]

another huge hit...this one on Gibson...

[HiHiYikas]

seriously, no more injuries.

Gipson looks to be knocked out.

[thirdgendin]

How many years of eligibility does Felton have?

Felton is a true sophomore. He can in with 15-20 hours of college credit and told Coach Lamb that he could redshirt him if he wanted, but Felton would graduate in four years and be gone.

[Mr. C]

Gipson knocked out on hit by Wiggins. Felton also went off hurt a couple of plays back

[bodoyle]

Dave; If Elder ran for 7 tuddys why isnt he starting?

<You obviously know nothing about Elder. He scorched Texas State for 41 points last year>

Unless you mean he threw and ran one or 2. xlolx

[HiHiYikas]

felton back

[ButlerGSU]

Score now?

[ButlerGSU]

Everyone knows what's going on at 8 p.m. tonight on ESPN right????

[LeopardFan04]

some sort of award presentation?

<You obviously know nothing about Elder. He scorched Texas State for 41 points last year>

Unless you mean he threw and ran one or 2. xlolx
Dude, he directed his offense to 41 points against Texas State.

[bodoyle]

Just nitpicking you like you nitpicked me in the email(s)

[blukeys]

Everyone knows what's going on at 8 p.m. tonight on ESPN right????

Yes I'm getting ready to take back the comment on the quality of the coverage with the endless promos.

[blukeys]

Felton is a LOAD!!

[HiHiYikas]

Felton is quite a footballer

[DB_Atlantic10]

Looks like the winner of this game takes the cake....they both have solid running games......something I didn't see last night from either team....

[HiHiYikas]

if this score holds. . .WTF?

[Catmendue2]

Looks like the winner of this game takes the cake....they both have solid running games......something I didn't see last night from either team....



UNI defense is better than both these two teams, imo

[HiHiYikas]

That is most unfortunate

[bodoyle]

<cough cough> COUGH IT UP APP ST! xlolx

[DB_Atlantic10]

UNI defense is better than both these two teams, imo

I'd have to disagree with that one....nothing impressive by UNI's defense...these guys are laying the wood!!!

[thirdgendin]

UNI defense is better than both these two teams, imo

Agreed. Over 550 yards of total offense thus far.

[DB_Atlantic10]

<cough cough> COUGH IT UP APP ST! xlolx

App St. is starting to do an UNH.....drive, fumble, drive, fumble........

[Obzerver]

Quick, take a knee...

[HiHiYikas]

We got into a pattern a little like that against Lafayette. They did pretty well at taking advantage of our mistakes for a while

[DinoDex200]

Agreed. Over 550 yards of total offense thus far.

No way...these offenses are just better than Tx. State's...and the coaches aren't as big of morons... :D

[HiHiYikas]

That was a game-breaking sequence

[GSUISBACK]

I cant belive Bobby Lamb thought there was enough time to score a FG. What was he thinking?

[ButlerGSU]

What the hell is Donnan always looking at? Looks like he's looking 8 inches below the camera whenever he is talking.

[DinoDex200]

I cant belive Bobby Lamb thought there was enough time to score a FG. What was he thinking?

He's a maverick, risk taker...isn't that right, Coach Baalif? :)

[thirdgendin]

Well, Beckler finally redeems himself. 23-21 at the half! I really thought we were dead after getting down 14-0.

629 yards of total offense in the first half. Pretty amazing. Martin looking really good. I have to like our chances with Williams being out.

[blukeys]

I cant belive Bobby Lamb thought there was enough time to score a FG. What was he thinking?

right on Fire Lamb and hire that Texas state coach. :rolleyes:

[HiHiYikas]

Good half, good half. I have to think that ASU w/Elder is better than WCU and a couple of those other teams that kept Furman close...but Furman isn't exactly the same team that WCU beat. They're good in close games, and it was pretty clear that ASU w/Williams could have kept it out of reach.

We really have to pull something together to get this game back. You really hate to see it happen this way. There's only one team in the world I want to see lose as a result of a QB injury, and that is the Atlanta Falcons.

[JohnStOnge]

ESPN crew very complimentary to I-AA playoff intensity as the half comes in.

On the game: Can't keep fumbling the ball, App.

I love Furman's style. To me that's real football. I'm kind of torn. I picked App State to win it all and I like them but I like it when a team with Furman's style wins to show that old fashioned physical football still works.

Of course Williams being out is a factor. The announcers can say App is the same without him but they're not. They're fortunate to have a quality backup but it definitely hurts App's chances not to have Williams. That's kind of stating the obvious. They have to hope they can somehow get it done without him today then pray he's close to 100 percent next week.

[HiHiYikas]

Well, Beckler finally redeems himself. 23-21 at the half! I really thought we were dead after getting down 14-0.

629 yards of total offense in the first half. Pretty amazing. Martin looking really good. I have to like our chances with Williams being out.

You're much more likely to be dead when you're down 14-0 to ASU w/Williams. Good half, though.

[JohnStOnge]

Good half, good half. I have to think that ASU w/Elder is better than WCU and a couple of those other teams that kept Furman close...but Furman isn't exactly the same team that WCU beat. They're good in close games, and it was pretty clear that ASU w/Williams could have kept it out of reach.

App would be ahead without the fumbles. And I think both times they were being careless with the football. That receiver actually led into the DB with the football instead of tucking it on the side away from where the tackler was coming and protecting it. It wasn't as bad with the QB because the DB did make a good play to strip it but he was carrying it a little loosely. They need to knock that off.

[HiHiYikas]

Zach's fumble happens whichever QB puts the ball in his hands. Williams or no Williams, this game should be 28-20 ASU. To pull out an Esiason-ism, you can't win games when you lose the lead instead of adding to it.

In other words, John is right.

[rokamortis]

Kind of like 'whoever scores the most points will likely win' :smiley_wi

[thirdgendin]

You're much more likely to be dead when you're down 14-0 to ASU w/Williams. Good half, though.

That's why they play the games. You guys still have a good shot, playing at home.

[catamount man]

23-21 Furman at the half. Heck of a game! Go SoCon & GO CATAMOUNTS!!!

[JohnStOnge]

I really feel for App losing their ace. That's terrible. It's kind of like Furman losing Ivory as an effective force the last time they made it to the championship game.

[blukeys]

2nd Half coming up!!

[HiHiYikas]

10-pts off turnovers for Furman. I remember somebody, I think it was in the Mountaineer Message Board, saying that the turnover battle was unlikely to be a factor.

[Hansel]

a lot of purple in the visitor stands

[Isaac23]

so what happened to Richie?

[HiHiYikas]

a lot of purple in the visitor stands
Sure is...My intitial reaction is "yuck," but then I get over it and congratulate Furman for traveling so well. Great job from such a small school.

[HiHiYikas]

so what happened to Richie?
Figure-4 looking tackle on a scramble, looks like a twisted ankle.

[Hansel]

so what happened to Richie?
ankle?

[blukeys]

turnover

[Isaac23]

man, i hate to hear that about Richie! I was looking forward to seeing what he was all about today!

[HiHiYikas]

Furman is looking pretty good against the option.

[Hansel]

that ball is a hot potater'

[GaSouthern]

wow going for it in 4th and 10!!!!!!!

[HiHiYikas]

going for it a good idea? bad?

[blukeys]

Furman defense is stiffening.

[Hansel]

elder is not as good a punter as Martin

[HiHiYikas]

not an idea at all

[GaSouthern]

I hate that bs kick

[blukeys]

Elder Kicks pretty good but this is a victory for Furman. No points off of the turnover.

[HiHiYikas]

half the punters in NCAA aren't as good a punter as Martin. Richie pulled off a decent punt against SIU last week.

[griz&beer]

I need a radio feed. where do I go?

[HiHiYikas]

I need a radio feed. where do I go?
www.goasu.com

[Hansel]

big slip, and big stop

[GaSouthern]

WAYYYYYYYY TO GOOOOOOOOO D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HiHiYikas]

My guttral impulse says "great slip, hope your hamstring is in shreds," then I remember that even Ingle Martin is a human being and that I don't want to see a game decided by QB injuries. Tough break for Furman.

[thirdgendin]

Ugh. Great defensive stop by ASU defense. Felton doesn't usually get stopped like that. I believe he only had a total of 6 yards for loss the entire season coming into this game.

[blukeys]

Hellacious Game

[JohnStOnge]

Marin's slip was a great example of the role of chance (luck) in football. I don't know if App can win this game. It's going to be tough without Williams to help them keep up with Furman's offense.

But if they do win it could very well be that Martin slipping like that made the difference. Depends on what else happens but that was a huge break for App State.

[HiHiYikas]

The 97-yard drive is really a Williams specialty. Fine punt for Matt Dodge.

get it back, Apps

[GSU Eagle]

This is strange watching this game. I am so used to pulling against both of these teams. I don't know who I want to win.

Losing Williams is a big blow for ASU. I believe Furman is in great position to win this game.

[Hansel]

Ouch doesn't sound good for Richie

[HiHiYikas]

Ruptured tendon? That sounds bad.

Richie is the kind of player than covers a variety of deficiencies.

[Hansel]

Martin has missed quite a few throws

[GaSouthern]

I am still pulling for the asteroid to win this game ;-)

[blukeys]

Martin has missed quite a few throws

And that guy was wide open.

[HiHiYikas]

I am still pulling for the asteroid to win this game ;-)
I have felt that way before, like when the Braves play the Red Sox.

[Hansel]

And that guy was wide open.
i could be way off, but Martin may be the third best QB.... in this game

[HiHiYikas]

Stopping Furman is great, but it tends to be dinimished by poor offensive showings.

Have to get points here.

Amazing punt, Martin.

[Hansel]

amazing job of getting the punt off however

[HiHiYikas]

i could be way off, but Martin may be the third best QB.... in this game
agreed. but he's the best punter/qb on the field.

Nice early signs of ball movement.

[Coastal89]

Ruptured tendon? That sounds bad.
That's the same injury Sevelle Newton at South Carolina has. They say it could be 2007 before he plays again.

[blukeys]

Martin wants to drop kick and I'd love to see that!!

[HiHiYikas]

That's the same injury Sevelle Newton at South Carolina has. They say it could be 2007 before he plays again.
Oh well...Richie is getting the same degree I have, and I got a very good job after graduating.

[Hansel]

How is App's kicker (i am guessing the FU D is going to stiffen up)

[ButlerGSU]

Both of these teams are getting bang'd up. I think UNI's chances against either of them in Nooga.

[HiHiYikas]

How is App's kicker (i am guessing the FU D is going to stiffen up)
He is kinda the anti-Beckler. Was questionable at best through the end of the regular season, and hasn't missed a kick of any kind in the playoffs.

[Bulldog87]

Furman is blowing this game by not taking advantage of scoring chances. They should be up by at least 8 now. Why did they go for it on 4th down after Ingle slipped. Lamb may not have learned about not taking points when you can get them can come back to haunt you. FU will be lucky to pull this one out the way this is going.

[GaSouthern]

I think lamb thinks with emotion too much vs appy
IMO

[thirdgendin]

We lost to JMU in the playoffs last year, 14-13, because Beckler missed a PAT.

[GaSouthern]

this elder guy in impressive!

[HiHiYikas]

We lost to JMU in the playoffs last year, 14-13, because Beckler missed a PAT.
Oh, I didn't know that. I would have pulled for you guys.

[Hansel]

smell a fumble coming ?

[HiHiYikas]

smell a fumble coming ?
hopefully, that's chimney smoke. That or gunpowder.

You can't smell fumbles, anyway. But if you put your ear to the ground, you can hear them. You have to be pretty close to the line of scrimmage, though, so I don't suggest it.

[Hansel]

I am the smartest man alive :nod:

[GaSouthern]

smell a fumble coming ?

WOW

[ButlerGSU]

smell a fumble coming ?

Great nose!

[HiHiYikas]

i neither heard nor smelled that one

we have to get this back and score. that is, if we are to win. just call me me boomer.

[DB_Atlantic10]

I guess he did small a fumble......

[blukeys]

I love Trey Elder!!! :D

[Hansel]

Time for Felton to wear out the App D

[DB_Atlantic10]

Apps defense is starting to look tired

[HiHiYikas]

I think Codebreakers wins this game and demolishes UNI in the championship

[Hansel]

I wish they would quit beating the Heisman to death :rolleyes:

[HiHiYikas]

I wish they would quit beating the Heisman to death :rolleyes:
Codebreakers is going to win the Heisman, too. And the Payton.

[Hansel]

Nice catch by the Paladin, way to hold on

[blukeys]

Awesome catch!!

[Hansel]

Felton has two years left... WOW

[blukeys]

How big is the App defense?

[GaSouthern]

Codebreakers is going to win the Heisman, too. And the Payton.

"whats the payton" these morons were talking with out tounge in cheek about richie williams being a real person to consider.

[HiHiYikas]

you can miss tackles when your QB keeps you 14 points ahead.

[ButlerGSU]

It's like Good vs. Evil. Guys in black keep laying the hard hits but the guys in white keep getting up.

[Hansel]

Grambling/AAM tied in the SWAC championship game (have it on the second TD),

looks like BruGene hasn't lost any weight

[HiHiYikas]

Nothing against Elder, but I am practically amazed that we are in this this late without Richie. Stupid fumbles.

No HUGE plays yet. The team that puts one up wins.

[Hansel]

Go for it, or not?

[Hansel]

why is the clock running after the flag

[ButlerGSU]

Furman just pulled the gun out and shot themselfs in the foot.

[HiHiYikas]

Go for it, or not?
Go for it before the ball is snapped - bad idea.

[Hansel]

Go for it before the ball is snapped - bad idea.
seems to be a lot of that going on today

[HiHiYikas]

Man, I could never coach my alma mater against a team I beat several times as QB.

I am illogical without all that baggage. Plus, I suck at football.

[Hansel]

they are cutting out of the IAA playoff game for Mich vs UCF??? WTF, glad I don't live in Mich

[ButlerGSU]

WTF? Terrible play call.

[HiHiYikas]

If Ingle Martin catches that pass, I convert to Furmanism.

[Hansel]

a lot of "mini" momentum swings in this game

[HiHiYikas]

a lot of "mini" momentum swings in this game
right, and nothing huge yet.

[Hansel]

getting interesting.....

[HiHiYikas]

Hansel, you better hold your damn nose this time.

[DB_Atlantic10]

Now that was dumb!!!!

[Hansel]

Hansel, you better hold your damn nose this time.
I don't feel a fumble, if anything it is going to be an INT ;)

[ButlerGSU]

Here comes the biggest play of the game...

[HiHiYikas]

Oooh, I have a GREAT idea - run a double reverse and pass it to the QB.

4th down gold.

I want to take this momment to mention how bad ESPN sucks covering I-AA football. All we hear about is how we compare to I-A and how 'surprised' they are at how good the football is. Why haven't any of the I-AA coaching changes been mentioned? Why haven't any of the other game highlights been shown? No mention of the Peyton race?

looks like they are going to try to pound it in

Should Furman let them score?

[ButlerGSU]

I would, Furman only needs about 2 minutes to score. Force them deep and let your D take over.

Should Furman let them score?

I thinks so. They just wasted a timeout and what are the chances that they will hold from a foot out?

[HiHiYikas]

Should Furman let them score?
yes...twice

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Yeah, Furman should let them score ASAP if they want to win. Furman is notorious for making quick last minute winning drives.

Looks like another great game for IAA on TV - I just wish Richie Williams wasn't out.

IN! D E F E N S E !

I think this game is good precisely because Richie isn't in.

Why go for two?? They made it, but still, why take the risk?

[Hansel]

I think Furman should take a knee when they get the ball, there is not enough time left in the game to make a drive :p

I was going to pull that one out in about 30 seconds.

That would force FU to make their XP, which isn't a given

I was hoping somebody wouldn't beat me to it :p

I don't understand the reason for going for two either. It's a 4 point lead or a 6 point lead. Either way Furman needs a TD.
