Looking at the ESPN3 replay. A big third down pass by Furman was made when the QB arguably passed the LOS. On the holding call that held back a TD, it was technically a hold, but of little consequence to the play. So it was arguably a dumb penalty by the OL, and arguably a nit picky penalty by the officials.
Furman benefits from their QB's passing ability, but a lot of mistakes in the passing game came from, arguably, him throwing on the run and not having his feet set. He threw a few balls behind his receiver as they ran quite a few rollouts. Given the strength of our DL and front 7, that was smart playcalling. For instance when they did a drop back pass we had them where we wanted them. Their receivers also dropped a few balls.
So, I think we were lucky because Furman isn't all the way there yet but they are gonna hurt a few teams this year
