Clemson is the highest ranked opponent Furman has ever faced in a football game as the second-ranked Tigers host the Paladins today at 12:20 p.m. at Death Valley in Clemson. The Tigers have won 30 straight games against the Paladins and have won 44 straight against SoCon teams.
Furman’s triple option vs. Clemson’s defensive line: Clay Hendrix wants to incorporate more of the triple option in his offense this year. The Tigers’ defensive line will have to be alert and try not to get cut down as the triple option is known for cutting defensive linemen down to open up space and running lanes for the quarterback and the running backs.
