The dream of an undefeated season is no longer a reality for the Wofford Terriers. Wofford had been 5-0 in one score games this season and you had to think that eventually the Terriers’ luck would eventually run out. To make matters worse, the loss came at the most unfortunate time of the year for the hometown faithful, Homecoming.
The odds on this game shifted dramatically in the run-up to kickoff. Wofford opened the game as a 2.5-point favorite, but a considerable amount of action came in on Samford throughout the week. By the time the game had started, Samford was a three-point road favorite despite already having two losses on the season.
