ASU VS FURMAN GAME THREAD

[AppMAN04]

ASU won toss elected to receive the ball..


Cadet is playing

DP is playing wide receiver this game..

[AppMAN04]

Jackson just tossed an INT in the endzone.. Furman ball

[DP_ASU]

Way to go Jackson.

[boonegoon]

This could be a trackmeet

[DP_ASU]

Fuman Drives the field...TD...easy.

[biggie]

Bad luck and bad App D to start.

[AppMAN04]

We moved the ball good that first drive.. Just defense cant allow easy scores

[DP_ASU]

Jackson intercepted again..easy.

[AppMAN04]

ASU throws another INT.. WTF..

[biggie]

Horrible start.

[DP_ASU]

WOOHA fumbles...App Recovers.

[AppMAN04]

FU fumbles ASU recovers at the 20

[boonegoon]

Awesome. Jamal better thank the D

[DP_ASU]

Okay...DeAndre should start warming up.

[cbarrier90]

Okay...DeAndre should start warming up.

Can he play OL? Sounds like the line issues we weathered against GSU are still there. Need to make some adjustments, and fast.

[AppMAN04]

Yeah we just need to regroup a second and the defense needs to stop this run right now...

[AppMAN04]

FU fumbles and ASU recovers but refs say ball was down..BS

[DP_ASU]

Furman fumbles...called down...lucky break for Furman, they score a TD...up 14-0.

[boonegoon]

THere you go GSU. I bet you don't mind that bad call.

[Apphole]

Forcier fumbled that's ridiculous. It's only fair that after Quick got the TD that they screw is this week

[insideout08]

Reply looked like he was down to me. 14-0 Furman!

Paladins are playing with tremendous confidence so far.

[cbarrier90]

Reply looked like he was down to me.

Of course it did. :)

[insideout08]

Of course it did. :)

Would you expect any less?

[AppStateold299]

No need complaining about it. Our offense needs to actually do something positive. I don't know why Jackson is sucking so bad this week.

[insideout08]

14-0 Furman after 1 quarter.

ASU with 3 first downs, two punts and two INTs.

Furman with 128 yards, 2 TDs and a fumble in the red zone.

No lead is too big against ASU though with their potent offense.

[Mikeyosef]

I'm listening to the Furman announcers on their audio stream and these guys have got to be some of the worst color commentators ever. They can't get the App players names right. They keep calling Jackson, Presley...can't get the running backs names right or the guys on defense. It's absolutely confusing.

[Reign of Terrier]

It's going to be hard for App to comeback. Furman just needs to grind the clock now and play their game of ball control and good defense

[biggie]

No potent O for us so far. Wind may keep our long ball in check.

[boonegoon]

Way to go D

[AppMAN04]

We have plenty of time left in the game great Defensive stop we just need the O to get it together

[cbarrier90]

It's going to be hard for App to comeback. Furman just needs to grind the clock now and play their game of ball control and good defense

Because if there's one team in the country that is not built to score quickly and struggles at making adjustments to come back from multiple scores, it's App...

[Apphole]

Huge first by Jordan. Refs missed the horse collar tackle

[Reign of Terrier]

Because if there's one team in the country that is not built to score quickly and struggles at making adjustments to come back from multiple scores, it's App...

no...Furman is just damn good at what they do when they're clicking

[AppMAN04]

Because if there's one team in the country that is not built to score quickly and struggles at making adjustments to come back from multiple scores, it's App...


Love the sarcasm.....

And we all know FU is known for giving up the game vs ASU

[insideout08]

Another ASU TURNOVER!! Fumble back Jackson at the Furman 10 is recovered by the Paladins!

[Apphole]

Absolutely down. Officially screwed out of championship?

[insideout08]

Picked right back by ASU! Lots of swings here.

[insideout08]

Absolutely down. Officially screwed out of championship?

Amazing that he was down even though the ball was 2 yards behind him....

[AppMAN04]

ASU FUMBLES THEN FU THROWS AN INT... lets make this count ASU

[insideout08]

score still?

Furman - 14
ASU - 0

Yep. ASU facing 3rd and 13 at the Furman 20. ASU timeout

[insideout08]

ASU FG is no good! Still 14-0 Furman with 6:45 or so to go in the 2Q

[FUTILLURPURPLE]

FU playing a very tough D!

[FUTILLURPURPLE]

TD FURMAN! Deep pass to Cunningham!

[insideout08]

79 yard TD FURMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Forcier to Cunningham

[boonegoon]

Kicking game is really terrible

[FUTILLURPURPLE]

79 TD PASS!

[AppMAN04]

td FU we are getting smoked today.. whooo

[cbarrier90]

Yep, we're still celebrating the GSU win. This is pitiful...

well, from the ASU perspective, at least...

[insideout08]

20-0 with the missed PAT (Furman is the worst PAT team in the country)

[FUTILLURPURPLE]

20-0 Furman, missed XP.

[AppMAN04]

extra point no good 20-0

[boonegoon]

3 trips inside the red zone and ZERO points. WTH?

[tingly]

20-0, missed the PAT. now 20-7, halftime

[Reign of Terrier]

Regardless of whether App comes back to win this one, it is apparent that they do not play well away from home

[insideout08]

ASU is doing a good job of converting 3rd downs today....5-8 so far

[AppMAN04]

Regardless of whether App comes back to win this one, it is apparent that they do not play well away from home

blah blah blah....


We have been suspect all season and this game is no different

[boonegoon]

Regardless of whether App comes back to win this one, it is apparent that they do not play well away from home

Yeah, that's it.

[Reign of Terrier]

blah blah blah....


We have been suspect all season and this game is no different

but you still scare me. Furman's a good team

[cbarrier90]

Regardless of whether App comes back to win this one, it is apparent that they do not play well away from home

That's what happens when you have an extremely young team. They're learning right now that just because you get a signature win to put you in the driving seat for a title, you're still going to get everybody's best shot, and if you don't match their intensity, this happens.

[Reign of Terrier]

believe me, I learned that 2 weeks ago

[insideout08]

Touchdown App with 30 seconds left in the half.

ASU with a huge TOP advantage this half....hopefully it doesn't come back to bite the Furman D in the second half.

[boonegoon]

TD! Let's turn the tide.

[biggie]

At least we scored, 20-7.

I need more liquor.

[AppMAN04]

At least we scored, 20-7.

I need more liquor.

Wait you have liquor.. let me guess SOCO?

[Squealofthepig]

Weird stat of the game:

Time of possession
ASU 16:23 (50 plays)
Furman 7:41 (20 plays)

Oh, and of course,

Turnovers
ASU 3
Furman 2

[Apphole]

Two in the hole. Let's get it going second half

[Mikeyosef]

At least we scored, 20-7.

I need more liquor. Man, I'm way ahead of you!

[boonegoon]

Weird stat of the game:

Time of possession
ASU 16:23 (50 plays)
Furman 7:41 (20 plays)

ASU 3
Furman 2

Yeah, not sure score is indicative of play. Two To's in the redzone and an awful fieldgoal attempt really killed us. Furman has really taken advantage and that's the difference.

[insideout08]

ASU is now 8 of 11 on third downs, keeping some long drives alive. Furman has brought the blitz on most every third down, and while it has worked a few times, Jackson has evaded pressure and completed passes on numerous occasions.

[Reign of Terrier]

If Furman can grind it out in the second half (which I'd fully expect them to do) and burn some clock.....ASU could be in trouble.

Of course I'm stating the obvious in a redundant way

[Squealofthepig]

Yeah, not sure score is indicative of play. Two To's in the redzone and an awful fieldgoal attempt really killed us. Furman has really taken advantage and that's the difference.

Yeah, would not expect that score from those stats. Yards are pretty even, so it's turnovers and opportunism (and some reffing, but GSU fans won't let you use that excuse this week). Take care of the ball in the second half, get the momentum back and you should be fine.

And, dang, way to go Paladins. Wish I could see this game.

[Apphole]

I hope they're getting an ear full in that locker room. And I may get Adam Sandler to hit the ref in the balls with a football.

[biggie]

Wait you have liquor.. let me guess SOCO?
I've been broke, cheap spiced rum and cherry vodka.

[boonegoon]

:pumpuke::pumpuke:

[youwouldno]

Furman has a few more total yards despite running 40% as many plays. So you have to keep that in mind with respect to the totals. It will be interesting to see if Furman can put drives together to keep the defense from wearing down too badly in the 2nd half.

[DP_ASU]

Armanti is @ the game...Watch for a comeback...

No doubt Furman has been efficient. If we can keep Furple O off the field, we may have a chance.

[biggie]

:pumpuke::pumpuke:
Indeed. Mixing is key. Any spiced rum and orange soda makes a good creamsicle flavor. Coke or Dr P for the vodka.

[Reign of Terrier]

Armanti is @ the game...Watch for a comeback...

does he have any more years of eligibility left? I mean 3 turnovers after all.....

[AppMAN04]

Armanti is @ the game...Watch for a comeback...


I wonder if he paid for his ticket

[boonegoon]

Listening to the broadcast, sounds like some Appfans are there and noisy. How is our presence?

[biggie]

First holding call on a Socon opponent and we decline it.

[biggie]

Listening to the broadcast, sounds like some Appfans are there and noisy. How is our presence?
They said it was good. But also being it is across from the broadcast so it may seem a little louder.

[boonegoon]

Good stand out of the gates this half.

[AppMAN04]

Listening to the broadcast, sounds like some Appfans are there and noisy. How is our presence?

Yeah David Jackson said it looks as if we are matching FURPLES Fans in attendance

[boonegoon]

They said it was good. But also being it is across from the broadcast so it may seem a little louder.

True

[AppMAN04]

1st down in FU territory.. lets goo!!

[boonegoon]

Awesome Cadet!

[AppMAN04]

Keep up the momentum ball on 4

[biggie]

TO on downs, we suck today.

[Apphole]

Bullllll shhhhiiiiiitttttt

[insideout08]

HUGE goalline stop by Furman D on fourth and goal inside the 1!!!

[insideout08]

That's when it hurts you not to never take a snap under center. A sneak should've worked there.

[insideout08]

Great play-action on 3rd and 1 results in a 54 yard pass to the backup tight end. Furman in ASU territory.

[Mikeyosef]

Okay, I'm listening to Furman's streaming audio and I've got to say...it's a BAD sign when the guys calling the game, are also accurately calling Apps offensive plays. They totally called our last two goal line plays...Could we be any more predictable????????

[asknoquarter21]

No, we have been very badly out coached today

[asknoquarter21]

Turnovers and coaching have really hurt us today.

[boonegoon]

HOw terrible was that call?

[cbarrier90]

Helmet to helmet hit, defenseless receiver, ball wasn't there, no flag...

This is karma for GSU, plain and simple...

[asknoquarter21]

referees must be watching the game too

[Apphole]

Blatant helmet to helmet. He should have been ejected from the game an it went uncalled

[boonegoon]

Redzone.

[Reign of Terrier]

Score, position, time?

[AppStsGr8]

"PA announcer needs to stop playing music when the offense is at the line." Thank you.

[insideout08]

41-yard FG is good for ASU.

Furman leads 20-10 with 0:14 in the 3Q

[boonegoon]

20-10

[youwouldno]

The hit was legit. Peacock's catch wasn't. For SoCon refs though this is actually a pretty good performance.

[AppMAN04]

FG GOOd for ASU 13 secs left in 3rd

20-10 FU

[cbarrier90]

20-10 Furman, close to end of third quarter.

Offensive play-calling has been so predictable, O-line play has been suspect at best. If FU gets on the board on the upcoming drive, this thing might be over.

[insideout08]

After three quarters, Furman leads 20-10.

Furman needs a long drive here to give the D some rest. ASU has a 31:47-13:13 advantage in TOP!!

[Reign of Terrier]

If Furman can put together a long drive here with some points as a result, this game is over

[biggie]

Quick has to get involved down the field if we are going to have a chance. And now we are into the wind.

[insideout08]

Quick has to get involved down the field if we are going to have a chance. And now we are into the wind.

Steed is certainly winning that battle thus far. Quick's only catch was when Steed was on the other side of the field.

[youwouldno]

Quick has to get involved down the field if we are going to have a chance. And now we are into the wind.

Steed is doing a good job, though he doesn't cover him every play. Jackson is just much more comfortable with the short throws.

[insideout08]

Just 1 Furman first down before ASU forces a punt. ASU ball at its 25 with 13:20 to go.

Furman up 20-10.

[AppMAN04]

Get Quick the ball and utilize DP..

[boonegoon]

Boo.

[insideout08]

Big stand by Furman forces a punt. Ball back to the Paladins with 9:52 to go.

Furman 20-10

[DP_ASU]

Furman dominating from start of the interception.

[insideout08]

Forcier with two straight huge runs on 3rd and long...Furman inside the ASU 40 now and really starting to melt the clock.

[Reign of Terrier]

time? and Wofford is up 21-0 against Western in the second

[Mountaineer]

Congrats Furman. xthumbsupx

Jerry punting on fourth was pretty much admitting defeat. Awful play calling all day just ain't gonna get it done.

[DP_ASU]

Furman marches the ball down the field....takes the win.

[boonegoon]

Kick that kid out of the game

[Apphole]

Where as GaSo had one bad call that effected the game, we have had over 5

[AppMAN04]

No Heart.. FU outplayed us today.. These growing pains are hurting bad....

[cbarrier90]

Congrats Furman. xthumbsupx

Jerry punting on fourth was pretty much admitting defeat. Awful play calling all day just ain't gonna get it done.

That, turnovers, poor o-line play, and overall youth and inexperience. Just wasn't our day today.

That said, congrats to Furman. Looks like the rebuilding process is ahead of schedule. Nice to have the "Big Three" back in the SoCon.

[Mountaineer]

Hey, another bonehead unsportsmanlike on ASU. xlolx

Looks like too much celebrating GSU and not enough game planning for Furman.

[SC-T-Dogg]

The current Furman team is far removed from the one that lost to Coastal.

[GSUhooligan]

The current Furman team is far removed from the one that lost to Coastal.

Re they this year's 2010 GSU?

[insideout08]

Where as GaSo had one bad call that effected the game, we have had over 5

Ha, nice try but no dice.

Your lines were dominated today. You needed to get the ball back here, and we've gone over 65 yards with 12 straight rushes.

Weren't you the guy predicting a blowout b/c of all of your superior athletes??

[Mountaineer]

That, turnovers, poor o-line play, and overall youth and inexperience. Just wasn't our day today.

Things got bad from the start and snowballed from there, no doubt. Props to Furman for getting it done, jeers for the ASU coaching staff for zero imagination in the play calling department.

Controlling our own destiny for seven straight SoCon titles and this is the best they could do. xrolleyesx

[DP_ASU]

Chattanooga type red-zone offense...

[AppMAN04]

Furman is looking good right now towards the end of this season.. Big ups to FU.. tOUGH loss but we need to regroup and get it together for the next couple of weeks

[Mountaineer]

Seven straight = gone
Playoff seed = gone

Time to buckle down Apps and act like there's something to prove again. There is. xnodx

[insideout08]

FG no good by Furman. ASU gets the ball back.

Furman up 20-10 with 2:22 to go.

[Reign of Terrier]

If GSU loses today....The Socon is officially turned upside down

[insideout08]

Seven straight = gone
Playoff seed = gone

Time to buckle down Apps and act like there's something to prove again. There is. xnodx

With WCU and Elon left, you should still be in the playoffs. Best of luck. If we meet again, I hope it isn't in Boone.

[boonegoon]

Ha, nice try but no dice.

Weren't you the guy predicting a blowout b/c of all of your superior athletes??

Nice one douche. 30 minutes of possession and almost 400 yrds of offense is not domination by your defense.

[insideout08]

ASU on the move

[AppMAN04]

With WCU and Elon left, you should still be in the playoffs. Best of luck. If we meet again, I hope it isn't in Boone.

We know well make the playoffs but he is referring to a seed in the Playoffs which will also result in home field...

Credit to Furman. Just as the Wofford game, they were clearly the better team today, but we shot ourselves in the foot with so many missed opportunities and poor coaching, this game moreso than any this year.

[Mountaineer]

With WCU and Elon left, you should still be in the playoffs.

Indeed, we'll be in the playoffs barring an epic meltdown. Although with the way the season has played out I wouldn't be surprised. xlolx

[insideout08]

Nice one douche. 30 minutes of possession and almost 400 yrds of offense is not domination by your defense.

Ask the rest of your fans if your o-line allowing pressure wasn't a big reason you lost (just like that SACK)

[asknoquarter21]

ASU is gonna get the loss and it hurts our playoff situation, but I am not all that upset about it.

We played a pretty solid game that the stats don't show. I'm not ready to go all chattownmocs, but we weren't all that bad.

Terrible coaching, bad side of the officiating today, and putting ourselves in a hole due to turnovers. This game easily could have gone a different way today, but it didn't. I still think this team can win a championship this season and I think a late season loss a lot of times helps more than it hurts in terms of motivation.

Good game Furman

p.s. lets hope Jackson isn't seriously hurt.

[insideout08]

Sack, fumble, Furman ball, ball game!!!!!!! It has been a LONG six years since we've beaten ASU!!!!!

[DP_ASU]

Jackson hurt just as bad as he hurt APP. Turnover machine...

[AppMAN04]

WELL SAID!!

[youwouldno]

That was a very, very gutsy performance by Furman's defense. Did they totally shut App down? No. But they limited them to one TD and made a ton of huge stops despite being on the field practically the whole game.

[insideout08]

WELL SAID!!

x2

Well said...certainly hope Jackson is ok.

[cbarrier90]

Jackson hurt just as bad as he hurt APP. Turnover machine...

I swear, the fickle-ness of some App fans just makes me sad. He had a bad game against a good team. It happens, move on.

[boonegoon]

Ask the rest of your fans if your o-line allowing pressure wasn't a big reason you lost (just like that SACK)
That's a big difference from "total domination". No doubt you guys deserve the win, but 6 trips inside the 20 and 10 points have more to do with it. Your team was prepared and really deserved to win. But zero points in the second half , come on with your domination crap

[asknoquarter21]

I swear, the fickle-ness of some App fans just makes me sad. He had a bad game against a good team. It happens, move on.

Don't encourage him

Let the bandwagon fans get off the bus we don't need them. Jackson had a tough game today, but we are still a very young team. People need to realize the light can come on at any time and this team will be fine.

[GSU1-A]

I wouldn't get too sad yet ASU.. Southern is doing nothing but fumbling and throwing interceptions so far. Jaybo is horrible... There.. SOmeone had to say it..

[insideout08]

Here is my exact quote: "Your lines were dominated today."

You rushed 39 times for 87 yards and gave up three sacks.

We ran the ball 12 straight times for 65 yards and essentially iced the game.

The game certainly wasn't "total domination". The line play was a huge reason for Furman's win.

Said it in all the pregame stuff. Furman allows yards, but not many points. Touchdowns are earned not given.

NICE!

[FurmanPaladins4138]

great win for furman! it's been forever since i posted (so many mediocre seasons will do that to ya...)

[AppAlum2003]

Good game, Furpies. Saw this one coming after the huge win last weekend. Not to sound too much like chattownmocs, but Furple didn't win this game as much as ASU screwed up over and over and over again.... on both sides of the ball.

Pathetic performance by the oline, the coaching staff (play calling) and the JJ. They should still make the playoffs, but it's one and done this year, fellas.

[boonegoon]

Don't encourage him

Let the bandwagon fans get off the bus we don't need them. Jackson had a tough game today, but we are still a very young team. People need to realize the light can come on at any time and this team will be fine.

I agree. He's only a sophmore, right? I actually think we played really well except inside the 20. I'm not sure why we can't punch it in. A long way to go but I think it will be fun. Congrats Furman. Safe travels everyone.

[AppAlum2003]

great win for furman! it's been forever since i posted (so many mediocre seasons will do that to ya...)

Love it when a teams fans don't ever post and then suddenly find their keyboard when they win a big game or two.

[asknoquarter21]

I think ASU really needs to address this play calling issue. We haven't really been the same since Satterfield left, but the talent has improved.

Hopefully this and the Wofford loss will cause us to look into that this offseason. It's hard to remember a game where we have lost and I really felt we called the best game we could have.

-GSU last year
-Villanova
-Wofford
-Furman

All big losses for us. All very poor effort by the offensive coaching in terms of play calling. I gave us a pass early on in the season due to being young at WR and OL, but today was really disappointing.

[boonegoon]

Here is my exact quote: "Your lines were dominated today."

Agree. But you can't say a team that outgains you 399-365 is dominated. Other than that last possession did you have any real production in the second half. I'm not one of those fans that tries to find moral victories, Furman deserved the win, period. Good luck the rest of the way.

[insideout08]

We're probably arguing semantics. I didn't say your team was dominated, just your lines. I know injuries have hurt your OL. Maybe handled is a less demonstrative term that fits better?

Jackson did a good job of countering pressure with the short passing game.

Good luck to you guys too. I always respect Coach Moore.

I personally think both D-Lines out performed the O-Lines today. Furman came up big at the end, but both D-Lines held their own today.

[AppRolls]

Nice win Paladins. You were the better team today.

[Block-A]

All of the game I got to hear was up through our third turnover in the first half & was thinking I was going to see a blowout final. Will have to come back later & read up to see what happened.

Nice win today, Furman. Certainly made things interesting heading down the stretch.

[apaladin]

Neither team dominated but the yardage was almost even and ASU ran 33 more plays. Just sayin'

[FUTILLURPURPLE]

I think a big difference maker in this game was Ryan Steed holding Quick to only 4 catches and 60 yds. Steed owned Quick today. The pressure from our D line and blitzing JJ made it difficult for him.

[asu70]

Neither team dominated but the yardage was almost even and ASU ran 33 more plays. Just sayin'

Bottom line is Furman scored more points. Great win Paladins!

[FurmanWins!!]

Great game, way to go FU!!!!!!

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

Skimmed over the play-by-play. Looks like both teams blew some big opportunities, but App. State blew a few more.

All I can say is, some days you get lucky and others you get snake-bit. App. State certainly benefited from GSU shooting themselves in the foot last week but came up short this time.

[The Eagle's Cliff]

If GSU shot themselves in the foot last week, we damned near blew our heads clean off today!xbangx

[GATA_Eagles]

Furman gift wrapped us a nice present, and we nearly threw it into the fire today. Congrats on your win Furman

[tractorapp]

Nice win FU. It's official, I hate you again, ha ha! Forcier is a great player and we just could not contain him. I agree with a lot of my fellow Mountaineers, play calling and lack of imagination on offense is very upsetting. I think it is clear this coaching staff needs some shake up in the off season. Hope Coach Moore has the will to do it.

Good game Furmies.

ASU was able to move the ball but could not convert in the red zone to save their lives. Furman played well and ASU looks like a young team that has not yet learned how to play on the road.

On the bright side, ASU brought a great crowd down to Greenville and the SoCon looks like a 4-bid league for the first time in years.

Owner of Carolina Cement lives in Landrum and works out of the Clinton office. Neat that he not only gave love to the App NC but also to Furman and GSU's championships. Very cool.

Your team is great, but I hope you can do something to get the crowds back like you had them in the 80's. Your fan base appears to be older and I know you would like to get some young folks/families attending games. Do you think you are not drawing well because so many of your students are from GA and AL and relatively few are from Greenville?

[asumike83]

Appalachian does have to do something about our 1st down play calling. I don't know what the actual figure is but watching the game, it sure felt like about 75% of our 1st downs were a hand-off to Cadet up the gut. I understand not wanting to put too much on JJ after the early interceptions but we have to be more creative than that. The decision to punt the ball on 4th and 7, down 2 scores with 7:00 remaining was frustrating as well.

Just like everyone else, attendance is hurting in down years. Few more seasons of winning teams like this one, and we'll be back in the game.

Furman does, though, draw a lot from out of state, and is still a small school. So, it really isn't terribly suprising. A lot of students didn't hear of Furman until college visits, much less follow the team.

[GaSouthern]

Thank you Furman for protecting GSU's SoCon conference winning streak!!!!!!

[HighCountry]

We could not throw the ball worth a damn today, the refs sure got their throwing motions worked on though. The playcalling definitely regressed to that of the first few games. **** you furman and **** the citadel's placekicker.

[Death Dealer]

That, turnovers, poor o-line play, and overall youth and inexperience. Just wasn't our day today.

That said, congrats to Furman. Looks like the rebuilding process is ahead of schedule. Nice to have the "Big Three" back in the SoCon.

I admit it feels pretty good. Great validation that the firing of Lamb was a good move. It's great to see old school FU football back.

But if things keep trending the way they have, the "Big Three" is going to have to be renamed the "Big Five or will it be Six? This conference is crazy tough!

ASU's offensive line is hurting them badly right now. I fear next year our dline may go through the same growing pains.

The team looked flat when they came out and remained that way throughout.

Congrats to Furman for making the plays when they needed to. Player for player ASU has more talent but were outplayed and outcoached yesterday. Furman's OC called a great game.

About as accurate as can be said. Furman controled the line of scrimage on both sides of the ball. They once again were a very good bend but don't break defense. Long TD pass by Forcier was a perfect throw and catch. App just isn't the same team on the road and unfortunately if they make the playoffs they have some road games in their future. Congrats to Furple.

Wow...where did this clown come from?

[PaladinFan]

Love some of these game notes:

"Steed and the Paladin secondary combined to limit Appalachian State wide receiver Brian Quick to just four catches for 60 yards. Two of Quick's four catches went for a combined 35 yards on the Mountaineers' final drive, when the game's outcome was all but sealed."

"In recording three sacks today versus Appalachian State, Furman upped its season sacks tally to 21. Last year Furman ranked last in the SoCon with nine sacks."

Great to have a good defensive mind back in the driver's seat.

[Saint3333]

I'd give some credit to ASU's OC for limiting Quick as well. Mindblowing for us ASU fans, listening to the postgame I thought Steve Brown might explode.

Probably two of the best NFL prospects in the FCS going head to head most of the afternoon.

I noted this in the pregame, but my thought was Furman was going to put Quick under a blanket and make someone else beat them. That's preceisly what they did.

[asumike83]

The more I think about it, the more infuriating the decision to punt the ball away with 7:00 left becomes. Doubt it would have made any difference but it is the principle. You are down two scores in the 4th, why the hell are you concerned with a few yard of field position? If they somehow able to convert and at least get 3 on the board, it makes it a one score game and actually puts some pressure on Furman.

That call really was this game in a nutshell. No boldness or creativity at all in our offensive game plan. We were not the aggressor.

It is interesting particularly in light of Furman's ability to put games away. One of bright spots for the Furman offense which, as you saw, isn't flashy, but physical, is the ability to drain time off the clock in the fourth quarter. They had similar drives against Wofford and App State to pretty much put the game away. I don't think it was a bad decision, though. Your defense was lights out most of the game. You give it over on downs at midfield, you all but giving Furman the chance to put the game out of reach.

[asumike83]

I can't say that I agree with you there. Losing Wylie, Aiken and Witte will hurt but we are starting two freshmen at defensive end. I think Blair and Robinson each have the potential to be pretty special. We will return 10 of the 11 defensive starters from yesterday's game and will also have Justin Wray back in the mix. I have been impressed with the gradual improvement of our defense throughout the season and I expect an even stronger unit next season.

[OL FU]

A Comment on the stats (although it really doesn't even need to be addressed) Furman has won three games this year where they didn't win the stat battle (like I said who cares). Citadel, WC and ASU. Al three games were similar in one aspect. FU jumped to an early lead and then, in what appears to be classic Fowler strategy, said I think our defense can stop you well enough to keep the play calling safe. While I would like to score, I will protect the lead. In all three cases it worked.

I think you are quite right. Furman gets an early lead, will not give up big plays, and then forces their opponent to play perfect on offense to beat them. Our offense isn't explosive, but it does just what it needs to...drains the clock.

I also get the impression we could be more successful on offense, but choose to play ball control. We saw against App and UTC that our offense can score quickly when it wants or needs to. At the end of the day, I think Fowler is perfectly happy to get a two score lead, play ball control offense, and unleash his defense. It's really worked well for him so far.

I was very happy to see us pass from the start. We haven't done that often. I think it was critical to winning the game. I am sure ASU expected us to run run run. Starting early with passing made the difference.

the stat battle is meaningless except for three things. 5 red zone trips and two scores and 4 turnovers that FU did turn into 13 points and the last thing is the score.

DT is probably the most important position in the 3-4 defense. ASU doesn't have anyone that comes close to those three guys you mentioned. Jucos rarely step up until the 2nd year they're in our system.

I agree, The stat battle is good to analyze why you lost or won. My point on the yardage stat it has to be taken into consideration with where the score was most of the game.

The turnovers in this one are important and ASU's inability to score TDs.

On the turnovers, the first one was a fanatastic d play with a lucky bounce. I honestly thought that was going to be a TD for ASU. The second one was another great d play with the defender making a receiver type catch to get the ball. Can't even remember what the third one was (old age I guess)

[OL FU]

Tks. I'm a little concerned about that too.

Yep, Spoke with Sideline Shooter before the game (BTW very nice to meet you) and his concern was ASU's intensity level after the GSU game. My concern is our intensity level after three big do or die weeks. IF we have a let down, I hope it is in Gainesvillexnodx

Also saw several mentions of a "bad call" against GSU as well....looks some people finally opened their eyes to fact. What remains to be seen is if App will be labeled "whiners" and told to "stfu and move on" much like they did to GSU last week. I will not be saying these things to them, because I know the refs in our conference are awful and like to insert themselves into the outcome of games.

In any case, it looks like Furman took advantage of the weaknesses I saw in App last week that we couldn't. They also did what they had to do on offense. Congratulations to Furman and thanks once again. I knew the result before our game was over and was hoping they wouldn't announce it until the game was over but they announced the score during Citadel's last drive and I thought that would be enough to make us lose focus and screw up.....and I was close to being right.

We didn't get beat by the refs. I haven't read the whole thread... but, if any App fan is saying that-- they are just as wrong and ridiculously obnoxious as the Georgia Southern fans were all last week.

If the App fans start threads and discuss the refs from the Furman game all this week... I'll react the same way to them as I did to y'all. It's ridiculous.

We were beaten by a better team that whooped us from the beginning to the end of the game. Refs had nothing to do with it.

Were there terrible calls by the refs? Yes, it is the SoCon. Did we lose because of the refs? Absolutely not. Furman out played us and deserved to win, end of discussion.

I have not read the entire thread but any ASU fan who blames this loss on the refs needs to wake up, just like I said to the GSU fans last week. I had no problem with GSU pointing out a bad call the week before. My issue was with GSU fans refusing to admit they had been defeated, claiming that they were beaten not by ASU but by the officials.

The better team won in Boone last weekend and in Greenville this weekend. Simple as that.

When an opposing team blames the refs for a loss, you know they got whipped. Blaming the play calling is also over rated. Play calling didn't limit your running game to 2.2 yards per carry, nor did it pick off passes or sack your quarterback. Furman's defense did.

And lets be honest, it is not as though Furman played a perfect game here. Missed a field goal, missed an extra point, turned it over deep in their own territory, etc.

I've already stated ASU was outcoached and outplayed. That said the predictability of the playcalling did hurt ASU offensively. ASU ran up the middle on over 80% of the first downs, I'm sure the Furman fans noted this as well. ASU actually did well on 3rd downs considering the OC put them in 3rd and long positions. Furman's defense played well, but some of that was due to the lack of creativity, especially on 1st down.

To you and Saint, re the passing game and third down. Every third down, we blitzed. 4 out of 5 times we didn't get to your QB and you completed the first down pass. On the fifth time, we pressured your qb and you didn't complete. i.e. lots of yards, no scores. The way it is suppose to workxnodx:D

To you and Saint, re the passing game and third down. Every third down, we blitzed. 4 out of 5 times we didn't get to your QB and you completed the first down pass. On the fifth time, we pressured your qb and you didn't complete. i.e. lots of yards, no scores. The way it is suppose to workxnodx:D

Been waiting a long time for this, huh? xlolx
