How will Furman lose to App State this year

Post by T-Dog »

It's that time of year again. This is C&Ped so don't bitch at me for grammar.

2002: Miracle on the Mountain. Yeah...16-15 App St. First-year Furman head coach Bobby Lamb called "bonehead of the week" on ESPN.
" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
2003: Heavily favored Furman fumbles three times in the red zone and loses at home in the rain 13-10 to a scrappy App team.
2004: Richie Williams plays the game of his life against heavily favored #2 Furman. Richie goes for 40 of 45 passing including 28 straight (still an NCAA record) for 455 yards. Then he scores on a TD run with a minute left. Then Mr Two-Minute-QB Ingle Martin is sacked as time expires. App wins 30-29.
2005: After blocking the FG and beating App 34-31 in Greenville in October, App gets redemption in the National Semis. Ingle slips on 3rd and goal with an easy TD in sight that would have given Furman a two-possession lead. Backup QB Trey Elder leads an App scoring drive with 2 minutes left to take the lead. Then Mr Two-Minute-QB Ingle Martin fumbles due to a hit by Jason Hunter. App wins 29-23 and the Dynasty is born (and the regular season result forgotten).
2006: Looking to go up 10-7 right before halftime on the road against #1 App, Furman tries a FG. It's blocked and returned 79 yards by Corey Lynch for a TD. Then in the 2nd half, FU return man Middleton catches a kickoff at the one, steps into endzone and kneels. Ref spots ball @ the 1 and App gets a safety the next play. Then the rout begins. App wins 40-7.
2007: App tears Furman apart in the 1st half, building a 24-7 lead. Furman fans start leaving, but Furman won't quit. Down 7 with seconds left, Furman tries to get a TD pass, but Corey Lynch intercepts in on the goal line and runs it back to midfield, running out the clock and App wins 34-27.
2008: App holds Edwards running game in check and wins the total yards and time of possession battle, but two red zone fumbles (including one exactly where Ingle slipped in 2005 and Jeffries picked off the 2PC in 2002), plus an INT and another fumble in the 4th quarter that is eerily similar to the 2005 ending keeps Furman's offense from scoring crucial points. App wins 26-14.
2009: On Halloween, Furman has it's first ever "White Out", which App counters with gold jerseys. Sir Paladin rides out waving a white flag, signaling things to come. Lamb goes for an onside kick to start the game, but it fails badly. Then Furman fails badly. App wins in a rout 55-27.

At the end of a very frustrating day where football for Furman just isn't fun, Bobby Lamb finally gets his revenge by knocking Yosef's one remaining tooth out. 8-)

Wow, that looks terrible. Can you link to a newspaper story on it? I'm curious now.

You need to add the touchdown by App after the fumble out of the endzone that was called an "illegal touching" (no jokes please) penalty giving you the ball back.

Actually, considering our offense had a whopping 77 yards in the first half I am amazed we were in the game at all.
