RE: Official Game Thread: Furman
From the Furman message board.. some decent points made here:

Quote:A few opening thoughts on ETSU.

1. I know everyone is fawning over statistics at the moment, and ETSU's offense puts up a healthy 36 points per game. Remember, though, that they played two bad out of conference teams, UVA-Wise and Delaware State, and Samford.

At the moment, Furman has played the significantly tougher schedule. NC State is much better than Vanderbilt, and our two FCS OOC games were much tougher than anyone ETSU faced.

2. Against common opponents, it is a bit of a toss up. We looked better against Wofford. They did better against the Citadel. The Citadel game was a 6 point contest until late in the 3rd quarter.

3. Notably, ETSU has played two SoCon road games and (1) beat Samford in OT and (2) lost to UTC. Their trip to Furman will be back to back SoCon road games for them, which they haven't done this season.

4. The only team that runs the ball more than the Bucs is the Citadel. They'll bring the SoCon's leading rusher, Quay Holmes, to Paladin Stadium. He get the ball 20+ times a game. Their No. 2 back, Saylors, will get the ball a bunch too.

5. Most of their passing attack goes to 1 guy - Will Huzzie. He gets the ball twice as much as any other player in the passing game.

6. In terms of scheming them defensively, right about 80% of all of ETSU's offensive yardage goes to those three players - Holmes, Saylors, Huzzie.

7. Defensively they are pretty stout, but their numbers are skewed a bit with their OOC schedule (Vandy, Wise, and DSU combined for 23 points in three contests). Against SoCon competition, the Bucs are surrendering close to 28 points. For comparison, Furman is giving up about 19.

RE: Official Game Thread: Furman
Big, big game. A victory over Furman would be a huge step toward winning the SoCon Championship. Win today, and the Bucs will have a bye week next week, with the two most challenging of the three remaining games set for Greene Stadium. Win today, and ETSU will be favored in each of their remaining games.

But, first things first. Have to win this game. One big challenge will be controlling Furman's potent ground attack. Likewise, the Bucs must improve their offensive production from last week. That won't be easy. Like Chattanooga, Furman has an excellent defense.

I believe the Bucs can win if we limit turnovers and penalties. Just go out and play our normal game without the mistakes and that will give us a chance to win. Go Bucs!

No quit in these Bucs! Terrible 1st half, turnovers, typical SoCon officiating and the Bucs still find a way to win. Riddell hit some big plays and completed a huge drive to get the game winning touchdown. Props to the coaching staff for excellent clock management down the stretch.

It did look like they had to "kick it up a notch", so apparently chose SoCon *basketball* officials for this game. They very, very, very nearly cost ETSU the game.

At Least this crew of refs didn't call blocking in the back on the scrum play this week.

Wow I am so relieved Bucs found a way to win. Kudos to players for making the plays. Now in two weeks let's put 4 quarters all together! Thank you players and coaches.

Was there not a press conference today? I am looking at the athletics site and do not see one posted.

Ok yes that makes sense. But Jay did say there is a coach’s show tomorrow night. Always more fun coming off a win.
