Furman/South Carolina Football

Furman Paladins Head Coach Clay Hendrix opened his press conference Tuesday by saying not a single one of his players even received a walk-on offer at South Carolina. However, he still believes they can compete against the Gamecocks in Columbia on Saturday.  On the other side, South Carolina’s trying to bounce back after a disappointing game-one loss to then No. 21 North Carolina in Charlotte. But Gamecocks Coach Shane Beamer said Furman is not an easy win while pointing out the Paladins’ No. 6 ranking in the FCS.  Furman plays at South Carolina in Columbia at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the Gamecocks home opener.
