Furman opened its season last Thursday with a 52-0 victory over North Greenville, but there's a completely different challenge awaiting them on Saturday when the Paladins travel to Death Valley.
Fifth-ranked Clemson (1-0) hosts the Paladins at 3:30 Saturday afternoon to open its 2022 home slate (ACCN).
Furman head coach Clay Hendrix told the media earlier this week that his team has a chance, but they will have to play "exceptionally well" in all facets.
"Totally, totally different opponent this coming week, but certainly great program. You watch them; we have a chance," Hendrix said. "Certainly, watch the game last night (Monday), came back and watched the tape this morning, saw kind of what you thought you would see—just really talented, really disciplined football team.
