Like I kinda said in a different thread, our offensive stats were not great but if you look at the first half stats the game should have been put away in the first half. Can't really say what happened in the second, my ESPN app worked great at the bar, not so well on my phone at home. But in some respects it is simple. I thought we would be really good on D (and I think we are) and would be better than adequate on O. Right now we aren't. Not sure if it is offensive line problems or if everyone is concentrating on stopping FU from running and our passing game isn't good enough to give the running game some relief.

We now know the answer to that question after Furman's loss to PC.

Last year it was GW, this year PC.

Hell last year it should have been PC and GW.

Last year we were the tale of two seasons. Absolutely sucked the first half. Played well the second half. This year, who knows.
