I know Furman is down big but has anyone watched any of the 1st half and how Furman has looked?

It was a beat down of major caliber. Even when we were bad and we played Alabama, we didn’t lose 76-0. 2019 was our worst defeat 66-3.

The difference in this game has at least a little to do with Lane Kiffen. His offense and the speed they can go at can give any team fits. But he will also keep the peddle down all game even against an overmatched opponent. Ole Miss looked like one of the best teams you can pay for last night, and I expect them to be in the FBS playoffs with probably 11 wins.
That being said, with something like 4 mins left in the game Furman had 5 or 6 yards rushing. I think they finished with 26. That is a stat I wouldn’t expect to see from a Clay Hendrix team even if they were playing the 85 Bears. Still - just like the UTC game I don’t think we can take too much away from this game.

I watched a little of both the Furman and Chattanooga games and both SoCon teams were very outmatched. We have been beaten down before by the likes of Alabama and Oklahoma, but I would expect teams that are as highly ranked in FCS as they are to at least score a TD. When we got beat down, we were an unranked FCS team that was expected to be beaten down. My takeaway is that Furman and Chattanooga are over ranked in the FCS rankings. We will see how they do against FCS competition but in my opinion, they did not live up to where they have been placed in the FCS rankings. They should have at least scored a touch down!
