Bison will have to watch for the long run on special teams.

The Furman/SCSU game was like watching a MVCS game in slow motion. As for physical play, it was pretty much a pillow fight. Furman may be a good team in the MEAC, but I believe Furman is going to find the Dome play too fast, too physical and too noisy.

Something tells me the Furman team will get fired up seeing the crowd and noise inside the dome. They played very boring and laid back today, it wont be like that next week. They will surprise the Bison with their speed and energy.

Furman is from the SoCon, the same conference as Wofford and (formerly) Georgia Southern.

SCSU was from the MEAC.

Fairness in information.

Furman didn't strike me as having any significant depth and only 2 or 3 quality players. Wrong?

I'll give my official prediction later this week...but i'll give you a spoiler. not lookin good.

Furman has been traditionally a good program. They won the title in 88 and were runner up in 85 and 01. We will be facing a decent team from a traditionally good conference. I wouldn't call it a cupcake game but we should be able to take care of business!
