Furman vs. MSU Open Thread

Furman has actually gotten a couple good runs - there was a big hole on that last one.

 

If their QB wasn't terrible they might actually be able to hang around.

McDowell just got laid out by a fb. Then he just got a tfl

Furman has ripped off a couple nice runs on MSU. key is blocking McDowell

McDowell is a freak. Damn, he's good.

I'm a total idiot, can someone tell me why State has opened their season on a Friday night the past few years. Is there an actual reason or is it just scheduling?

No Ed Davis? Shocked I am.

McDowell wil be playing on Sunday.  He looks to be too thin for the interior line, so maybe some team moves him outside to rush DE.

Great googley moogley

It just occurred to me that the Ed Davis thing is still unresolved. This situation is so so bizarre.

lol Rider from Furman just pulled a sparty and dove on the pile 10 minutes after the play was over

Furman qb is so bad.

I'm not impressed with either line for MSU so far.  Even on the first drive, the RBs did most of the work.  But the run blocking has been mediocre for the most part, O'Connor has felt some pressure, and on D McDowell is the only DL that seems to be doing all that much.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT!

LJ Scott looks good along with Mcdowell. Besides that they don't look very good.

Furman is awful... And it's a one score game!

Man D'Antoni has the saggiest bags under his eyes. Get some sleep, man.

One quarter down:

Moo U 7
Feces 0

So is it safe to say they're struggling against an FCS school at home?

Watching HS football on ESPNU.

Is going to give them a sound beating.

So nice that broadcasts are continuing with the commercial, punt, commercial format.

The Trash Tunnel looks relatively clean tonight.

Two nice runs right up the gut.  Even when MSU has struggled early in the season, you don't usually see a bad team do that to them.

More Head

Furman now finding some running room. Furman went 4-7 last year so not even a good fcs team.

"Quick as a hiccup" that's some stellar commentary there... NOT!

The Furhman OL is doing a nice job and that back is quick.

Don't like that 3rd and 1 play call.  The bunched up formation takes away too many options and tips the offense's hand. MSU smelled that out easily.

I'll believe they're actually an average team at the end of the season if their record reflects it. Sparty ALWAYS plays to their competition. One week they barely eek by Western or someone else terrible and the next they go toe to toe with OSU. They ALWAYS do this shit were they're terrible to start the season then end up only losing like 1-2 games. You can't ever assume just because they look bad their first few games doesn't mean they won't end up winning when it counts.
