I hear it was a record.

Edit, nevermind, forgot the game was at Wofford.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a record, from my perspective it seemed 50-50 but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if Southern had more

Ga. Southern and Villanova both getting hot at the right time.......but GSU's defense still underrated in my mind, that is a very good unit.

Had VMI's defense been close to as good as GSU's is, with Brent davis calling the shots on offense, maybe VMI wins 6 or 7 games/year in 2007-09.

Congrats, Eagles! Welcome to Delaware!

[ASUG8]

Whodathunk the SoCon co-champs would both be eliminated with the upstart, new coach, new offense Iggles advancing?

Congrats GSU! Make the SoCon proud!

Where was the facemask? Shaw wasn't touched, replay confirmed. Had to be away from the play?

If you have freeze frame and frame by frame capabilities on your TIVO take a slow mo frame by frame look at the play. As Shaw crosses the 28 yard line the Wofford defender (#98) is sideways to Shaw and fighting a blocker. He reaches out with his left hand and gets the left side of the facemask- not a flagarant grab mind you but a sure grab that slightly turned the head- as Shaw hits the 30. The official is standing on the 36 and has a completely unobstructed view of the play five yards directly in front of him. He throws the flag a little late as he has to dodge the play coming at him but he had a straight on unobstructed view and had the call.

Tough luck for Wofford but the right call- barely.

The replay that the broadcast showed was a lower side angle from Shaw's right and obscured the penalty, hence the (seemingly correct) reaction form the commentators. But go back and replay the actual play- it is at the 2:24 mark- and you'll see the penalty.

This is really the forgotten game of the day - at least for me.

Sounds like it was a heck of a game too

I'll take your word for it. GSU @ UD will be more fun anyway. You brought three times as many fans to Newark in 2000 as they did in 2003.

well duh

I can't help it that Wofford is tiny. I'm just stating the facts. GSU brings way more fans and it's more exciting.
