2R - Furman @ (7) Wofford

[Mvemjsunpx]

It's the second September rematch in a row for Furman. They did manage to edge a fading Elon in Elon last week, but Wofford's momentum is not so lacking. The Terriers' schedule is pretty absurd: 8 of their 11 games have been decided by one score, and they're 7-1 in those games (losing to Samford). In this otherwise even matchup, I see the final result being one Wofford fans have gotten used to.

Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:

• • • Quarterbacks -- Furman
      
      Running Backs - Wofford
      
      Receivers/TEs - Furman
      
      Offensive Line - Furman
      
      
      Defensive Line - Furman
      
      Linebackers --- Furman
      
      Secondary ---- Wofford
      
      
      Kicking ------ Wofford
      
      Punting ------ (push)
      
      Return Teams - (push)
      
      Kickoffs ------ Furman
      
      
      
      
      
      • Furman 24-27 Wofford

Wofford wins 28-10.

Two surprises here: It wasn't a one-score game, and Furman was actually favored in the point spread.

WOW. That was 2012. I didn't think anyone in the MVFC runs it, but wasn't totally sure. I just figured NDSU probably faced someone since 2012 OOC or playoffs who ran the TO.

Wouldn't it have been GSU in the 2012 semis?

2012
Quarterfinals #1 NDSU 14, Wofford 7
Semis #1 NDSU 23, #5 GSU 20

Both Wofford & GSU were 3 loss teams that regular season.

Wofford scored their only TD on a Pick 6. GSU game was basically for the championship. Wofford stayed true to the option with only 7 passes. Grant Olson had 26 solo tackles for the Bison.
