(Oct. 19, 2002) -- Lamar Rembert s 83-yard touchdown run keyed a powerful rushing attack that propelled NCAA I-AA sixth-ranked Furman to a win over arch-rival The Citadel in Southern Conference action at Paladin Stadium. Rembert s scoring run, which came on the final play of the first quarter, gave Furman a 14-0 lead and keyed the Paladins to their fourth straight win over The Citadel and 15th straight home victory against conference opposition. Rembert finished with a game high 87 yards on five carries as Furman piled up 345 yards on the ground and five touchdowns on the way to 508 yards in total offense. Furman s defense played a significant role in the victory, limiting The Citadel to only 252 total yards and picking off Bulldog quarterback Jeff Klein four times, including a pair by senior cornerback Rodney Johnson. Klein entered the contest having thrown only one interception in 197 attempts. Furman took command of the game early, moving 73 yards on 13 plays for a 1-yard touchdown plunge by fullback Eric Emerson and 7-0 lead at the 8:17 mark of the first quarter. After Rembert s 83-yard touchdown sprint increased the Paladins advantage to 14-0, a Johnson interception at the Furman 25 led to a 12- play, 75-yard drive that produced another score. After lining up for an apparent 30-yard field goal try, Furman holder Jeremiah Van Dora faked it and rolled around left end 13 yards for a touchdown at the 9:30 juncture. The Citadel got on the board with a Travis Zobel 21-yard field goal with 3:59 left in the half, but Furman countered by moving 60 yards in 12 plays for 32-yard field goal by Danny Marshall with less than a minute left for a 24-3 advantage. The Citadel attempted to get back in the game on its first possession of the third quarter when Klein scored on a 2-yard run around right end, but the Bulldogs failed to sustain the momentum on their next possession when Furman linebacker Cedrick Ritter picked off a Klein pass at the Paladin 35 at the 4:40 mark. The Paladins put the game out of reach early in the fourth quarter when senior flanker Bear Rinehart collected a reverse and, behind a wall of blockers, glided 47 yards untouched into the end zone to complete a seven-play, 80-yard drive. Furman s Toreico O Neal closed out the scoring with an 8-yard run with 1:13 left in the contest. Paladin quarterback Billy Napier connected on 11-of-19 passes for 163 yards, including five for 80 yards to sophomore split end Isaac West, who completed his comeback from a fractured collarbone sustained in the Paladins 17-7 win over Richmond on Sept. 21.

On Saturday against Appalachian State, Furman s red zone troubles intensified and ultimately cost the Paladins the game. Five times Furman penetrated the Mountaineers 20, but only twice did the Paladins come away with points. In the first half, Furman held a 7-3 lead but fumbled away the football at the ASU 2. In the second half the Paladins suffered turnovers at the Mountaineer 10 and 16, and had to settle for a

4 field goal on another possession after getting to the ASU 1 on second down before being flagged for an illegal substitution penalty. On the season Furman has scored at a 64.0 percent clip (16x25) from the red zone; however, after going 7-for-7 in the first three games, the Paladins are just 9-for-18 (50.0 percent) inside the red zone in the last two contests.

TURNOVER TROUBLES...Furman s four fumbles in Saturday s loss to Appalachian State continued a recent turnover trend for the Paladins, who over the last three games have committed 12 miscues (8 fumbles, 4 interceptions). On the flip side, the Paladins have forced 13 turnovers (7 fumbles, 5 interceptions) in the same three-game span. Furman s turnover margin through six games is A year ago the Paladins produced a turnover margin. ROAD SUCCESS...Furman sports winning home, road, and overall series records against every Southern Conference foe except Georgia Southern. That includes a overall slate versus The Citadel in Charleston, where the Paladins have won straight since 1995 and are 8-2 in their last 10 appearances at Johnson Hagood Stadium. Since 2001, Furman has compiled a 9-3 road record against NCAA I-AA opposition, including a decision over Western Carolina two weeks ago in Cullowhee. FURMAN VS.

(.706)... (.571)... (.643) * Includes five neutral site games (3-1-1,.700) RARE LOSS AT HOME...Furman s setback to Appalachian State on Saturday marked only the second loss at home for the Paladins in their last 17 games (.882). Since 1999, Furman has posted a 26-5 record in Paladin Stadium (.838). That stretch includes a 24-3 regular season worksheet (.889). NOT SINCE The 10 points Furman scored against Appalachian State on Saturday represented the lowest output by a Furman offense in Paladin Stadium since a 31-6 loss to Marshall in Appalachian State s 13 points marked the lowest winning point total by an opponent in Paladin Stadium history (opened in 1981). The previous winning total had been 14 (Western Carolina 14, Furman 7, 1983). 21-POINT PLATEAU...Furman s win over Western Carolina in Cullowhee on Oct. 4 represented only the third time in 34 games since 1991 Furman has prevailed on the road when scoring less than 21 points (3-31,.088); the Paladins are 30-5 (.857) in away games when scoring 21 points or more during that same span. PINCHING THE POINTS...Set up by a blocked punt, Appalachian State s 34-yard field goal marked the first third quarter points surrendered by Furman this season. The Paladins have yielded only 16 second half points in six games this year and head into Saturday s game against The Citadel as the league leader in scoring defense (13.0 ppg). STELLAR PALADIN D...For the second straight year, Furman s defense deserved better. In Saturday s loss to Appalachian State, the Paladin stop troops time and time again stufffed the Mountaineers and set up scoring opportunities for the Furman offense, which ultimately failed to capitalize. The Paladins limited Appalachian State to 225 total yards, including only 93 in the second half. Incredibly, almost to the point of nausea, in the fourth quarter Appalachian State couldn t muster a single first down and only 10 total yards in 10 plays against Furman, yet the Mountaineers walked away with the victory. Saturday s outcome was similar to last year s loss to Appalachian State in Boone in that Furman s defense all but dominated the Mountaineers, limiting ASU to 204 yards in total offense and only 19:39 of possession time before a blown two-point conversion attempt with 7.4 seconds left in the game sealed the narrow loss. Furman currently leads the league in total defense (268.2 ypg) and is also first in passing efficiency defense (96.04 rating) and interceptions (9). FURMAN DEFENSIVE COMPARISON 2002 Category Scoring Defense Rushing Defense Passing Defense Passing Efficiency Defense Total Defense BURANT A FORCE IN THE MIDDLE...One reason for the strong start by Furman s defense, and in particular the Paladins solid work against the run (117.2 ypg, second in SoCon) is the strong play of junior nose guard Michael Burant (Lexington, Va.). In a loss to Clemson on Sept. 6, he notched a career high seven stops, including twofor-loss. The seven tackles versus the Tigers were the most by a Paladin nose guard since B.J. Pate notched nine stops in a win over Chattanooga in In Saturday s loss to Appalachian State, he registered four tackles and a fumble recovery in helping Furman limit ASU to only 225 yards in total offense. Through six games, he has 24 tackles, which is one more than the 23 stops he collected in an injury plagued 2002 campaign that saw him register action in only eight contests. RAVENELL GAINING NOTICE...Furman redshirt freshman defensive end Roy Ravenell (Goose Creek, S.C.) had a major coming out performance against Appalachian State, helping key an impressive Paladin defensive effort. His work against the Mountaineers included a season high 10 tackles, two tackles-for-loss, two forced fumbles, and a sack. In six games he has compiled 25 tackles, a team high four forced fumbles, 2.5 sacks, and an interception. The interception came in a 45-0 win over Gardner-Webb and represented the first pickoff by a Paladin defensive lineman since PRESSURING THE QB...Furman has seven sacks in six games this year. On the surface that may not appear to be that impressive, but when considering last year the Paladins totaled a league low eight takedowns in 12 games, it marks improvement. FURMAN SACKS COMPARISON (12 games)...sacks... 7 (6 games) FURMAN LINEBACKERS MAKING THE PLAYS...Furman s linebacking corps appears to be living up to its billing as the possibly league s strongest group as through six games the Paladins three leading tacklers are linebackers. Leading the way is junior Mike Killian (Atlanta, Ga.) with a team leading 73 tackles. Next are sophomore William Freeman (Swansea, S.C.) and junior All-Southern Conference performer Cedrick Ritter (Fairfax, S.C.), who have contributed 47 and 43 tackles, respectively. Senior All-Southern Conference performer Keito Whetstone (Orangeburg, S.C.), meanwhile, has contributed 21 stops despite being sidelined for two games after sustaining a sprained ankle in the Paladins 28-

5 17 loss to Clemson on Sept. 6. In his absence, Freeman, in his first career start, stepped in and registered a career high 14 stops, including two tackles-for-loss, in the triumph over Richmond on Sept. 20 on the way to earning Southern Conference Defensive Player-of-the-Week honors. All told, the Paladin linebacker corps of Whetstone, Killian, Ritter, and Freeman have accounted for 184 tackles, nine tackles-for-loss, four pass deflections, four forced fumbles, two and a half sacks, an interception, and three fumble recoveries through six games. Since 1975 Furman has produced 21 first team All-Southern Conference linebackers the most of any league school. FURMAN LINEBACKERS CAREER STATISTICS Mike Killian, 6-1, 230, Jr., Atlanta, Ga.

Currently third in Southern Conference in kick scoring history, he trails only Western Carolina s Kirk Roach ( , 302 points) and Marshall s Dewey Klein ( , 300 points). He also ranks second in Furman overall scoring history, trailing only Louis Ivory ( , 318 points). Two weeks ago he booted a career high four field goals in the Paladins win over Western Carolina. The league s leading scorer heading into Saturday s game against The Citadel, he has 44 points, having converted 9-of-11 field goals and 17-of-17 PATs. For his career he has drilled 44- of-55 field goal attempts (.800) and 145-of-154 PATs (.942).

SENIOR SCARCITY...Furman counts only five seniors on its 2003 squad and boasts only two seniors among its starting 22. The Paladins, however, are well stocked with juniors (22) and sophomores (27). Furman s offensive and defensive starting lineup against The Citadel will likely feature two seniors, 14 juniors, and six sophomores. FURMAN CAREER STARTING EXPERIENCE LEDGER Pos.

Two weeks ago in the Paladins

6 19-13 win at Western Carolina, he ran a career high 28 times for another career high 137 yards. He has topped 100 yards three times this season, including a pair of 110-yard outings against both Elon (24-7 win) and Richmond (31-17 win). Furman s lone senior starter on offense and SoCon s third leading rusher this year with 541 yards (90.1 ypg), he has rushed for 1,533 yards and 10 touchdowns and has averaged a solid 6.0 yards per carry in his career. YOUNG OFFENSIVE LINE SHOWING PROMISE...With junior center Craig Morgan (Huntington, W.Va.) sidelined for Furman s first four games due to a concussion sustained early in preseason practice, the Paladins offensive line the first month of the season featured only one returning starter from a year ago, junior preseason All-Southern Conference left tackle Ben Bainbridge (Oklahoma City, Okla.), and four sophomores: center Corey Stewart (Lilburn, Ga.), guards Clayton Dyson (North Augusta, S.C.) and Patrick Covington (Charlotte, N.C.), and right tackle Brian Laggis (Stockbridge, Ga.). That changed with Morgan s return to the starting lineup in the Paladins win over Western Carolina on Oct. 11. Although Stewart, who entered the preseason as a guard, was bumped from the lineup by Morgan s return, he now counts five career starts, including one at center in the Paladins 2002 NCAA I-AA playoff contest versus Villanova. Dyson, Covington, and Laggis, meanwhile, now have six career starts. In addition sophomore guard Andrew Thornburg (Snellville, Ga.) and redshirt freshman center Jeff Fambrough (Atlanta, Ga.) have earned quality playing time through five games, totaling 177 and 90 snaps, respectively, in backup roles. As youthful as Furman appears on its offensive front, its worth remembering the Paladin offensive line is under the guidance of Clay Hendrix, one of the league s most respected assistant coaches and developer of 20 All- Southern Conference linemen, 10 All-Americans, and four SoCon Jacobs Blocking Award winners in his 15 seasons on the Furman staff. MR. VERSATILE...When junior wide receiver Isaac West (Augusta, Ga.) and tight end Willis Sudderth (Lilburn, Ga.) were suspended for the Paladins first three games, junior flanker Brian Bratton (Martinez, Ga.), already known as one of the team s most versatile performers, stepped up his game even more. Through six games he has caught a team leading 24 passes for 310 yards and three touchdowns, rushed 17 times for 149 yards (8.8 ypc.) and two scores, and averaged 24.6 yards on nine kickoff returns. For his career he now has 55 receptions for 752 yards and eight touchdowns and has registered 25 rushes for 207 yards and three scores. He was named Southern Conference Freshman-of-the- Year and All-America as a return specialist in 2001 after leading the nation in kickoff returns (37.2 avg., 3 TDs). SIR CAM NEWTON...Furman junior All-Southern Conference free safety Cam Newton (Bennettsville, S.C.) got his season off to a quality start in the Paladins 24-7 win over Elon on Aug. 31, recording seven tackles, an interception, and a forced fumble on the way to earning league defensive player-of-the-week honors. In the Paladins win over Western Carolina two weeks ago, he came up big again with his second interception of the season and subsequent 28-yard return that set up the Paladins lone touchdown of the game. The pickoff against the Catamounts was his eighth in now 17 career starts. He also blocked a field goal in the second half to help the Paladins preserve a 19-7 lead. He has 32 tackles in five games. A year ago he headlined a Paladin secondary that saw him register 57 tackles, nine pass deflections, and a team leading six interceptions (along with All-America cornerback Rodney Johnson). Newton s six pickoffs in 2002, the second highest total in the league, were especially impressive because they came in the face of a Paladin pass rush that netted a conference low eight sacks. His younger brother, Syvelle Newton, is a freshman football player this fall at the University of South Carolina. A NAME YOU RE GOING TO HEAR...Furman is blessed with a number of solid young players, and among them is redshirt freshman strong safety Shelton Riley (Charlotte, N.C.). In the Paladins win over Western Carolina two weeks ago, he registered a pair of tackles and his second interception in as many weeks. He tallied eight tackles and a pass deflection in his first career start in the Paladins loss to Clemson on Sept. 6 and a 44-yard interception return for a touchdown in the 45-0 win over Gardner-Webb. That pickoff and return for score was the first by a Paladin since the 2000 season when cornerback Richie Jackson gathered in a pass by Georgia Southern quarterback J.R. Revere and returned in 29 yards in a Furman win in Greenville. PALADIN STADIUM PROWESS...Furman enjoys a true home field advantage at Paladin Stadium (a.k.a. The Dungeon), where since 1981 (now 22-plus seasons) the purple and white have compiled a record (.788) the third highest home field winning percentage in NCAA I-AA. NEW CENTURY: SAME WINNING TRADITION...After posting the second most successful record in NCAA I-AA in the 1980s ( ,.773), Furman registered a solid mark (.578) in the 1990s. Now three-plus seasons into the new century, the Paladins are this decade (.733), which ranks seventh among NCAA I-AA scholarship-based programs who compete for the national championship. CONSISTENTLY COMPETITIVE...Furman owns a solid record (.741) in its last 58 games, and in only four of the 14 losses have the Paladins been beaten by more than seven points.

NCAA I-A STEPPIN OUT...The 57-yard punt return for a touchdown by redshirt freshman Justin Stepp (Pelion, S.C.) in the 45-0 whitewash of Gardner-Webb on was the second in as many seasons for the Paladins, who last year got a 66-yard return for a score by Bear Rinehart, who led the Southern Conference in punt returns in 2002 with a 14.9 average. GUTSY START...Furman opened its Sept. 20 game against Richmond with a gutsy play an onside kick, which the Paladins Jon MacDonald (Greer, S.C.) recovered at the Spiders 48. From that point Furman drove 33 yards to the Richmond 15 for a 32-yard field goal by Danny Marshall (Atlanta, Ga.) for an early 3-0 lead. NOT YOUR ORDINARY COMEBACK...When Furman sophomore tailback Brandon Mays (Arden, N.C.) underwent surgery on Oct. 30, 2002, for ulcerative colitis and spent two weeks in the hospital, a return to football looked bleak. After having approximately 90 percent of his large intestines removed and dropping from a pre-illness weight of 190 pounds to 140, he endured two more procedures in early 2003, including reconstructive surgery. Unable to take part in spring practice In March due to his condition, he nonetheless attended every practice and offered consistent encouragement to his teammates. Through dedicated rehabilitation and the fortune of advanced medicine, Mays regained 52 pounds (to 192), strength, and endurance, and completed his comeback by rushing 11 times for 49 yards and catching one pass for nine yards in the Paladins 24-7 win over Elon in the season opener on Aug. 30. Prior to his illness a year ago he had appeared in four games and rushed 18 times for 96 yards. As a prep at T.C. Roberson, he ran for 4,406 and 50 touchdowns in his career and was named Asheville Citizen-Times Offensive Player-of-the-Year after totaling 1,961 yards and 20 touchdowns his senior year. SOCON MAN...As head coaching tenures go, Bobby Lamb, who is now in his second season at the helm of the Paladin program, certainly doesn t qualify as a veteran, but when factoring in total years of association with Southern Conference schools, he could rightfully be considered a

7 dean of league head coaches. For Lamb, 40, the 2003 campaign marks his 22nd season at Furman. That tenure includes four seasons as a player ( ), 16 years as an assistant coach ( ), and one season as head coach (2002). No other league mentor can match that length of service to a league school. FAMILY...Very few coaching staffs can claim to be as close and know the school at which they work better than Furman s. That s because the Paladins entire coaching staff, with the exception of wide receivers coach Drew Cronic and defensive backs coach Jeff Farrington, is composed of Furman graduates who enjoyed fine playing careers for the purple and white before entering the coaching ranks. Furman s staff includes defensive ends coach Julius Dixon '90, defensive line coach Allen Edwards '92, tight ends coach Ben Hall 00, offensive line coach Clay Hendrix 86, head coach Bobby Lamb 86, running backs coach Tim Sorrells 81, and defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Steve Wilson 77. All told, the Paladins current coaching staff sports 81 years of collective coaching service at Furman and, counting playing tenures, has combined for 109 seasons of experience at the university. FATHER FIGURES...Junior Bo Moore (Madison, Ga.), Furman s starting quarterback, appears set to carry on the Paladins well established tradition of producing successful signal callers who are the sons of high school head coaches. Starting with Tim Sorrells ( ) and also including Bobby Lamb ( ), Philly Jones ( ) and, most recently, Billy Napier ( ), Furman has fashioned noteworthy success with quarterbacks who played for their fathers. Sorrells, who starred under his dad, Fred Sorrells, at Jefferson County (Tenn.) High School, quarterbacked Furman to Southern Conference titles in 1980 & 81. Lamb, a former standout at Commerce (Ga.) High School under his father, Ray Lamb, later helped lead Furman to a conference championship and NCAA I-AA runnerup finish in Jones, a three-year starter for the Paladins, played for his dad, Phil Jones, at Winder-Barrow (Ga.) High School, and Napier enjoyed a solid prep career under his father, Bill Napier, at Murray County (Ga.) High School before coming to Furman, where he directed the Paladins to 2001 league title and national runnerup finish. Moore, meanwhile, fashioned a fine prep tenure for his father, Kenny Moore, at Morgan County (Ga.) High School before joining the Furman program in BROTHER ACT...Furman s 2003 squad features three sets of brothers: Hindley and Grant Brigham (Birmingham, Ala.), twins Josh and Justin Stepp (Pelion, S.C.), and Lockwood and Austin Holmes (Jacksonville, Fla.). Hindley, a senior tailback, transferred to Furman in 2001 following two seasons at Baylor and last year paced the Paladins in rushing with 762 yards and five touchdowns. Grant, a sophomore flanker/ return specialist, joined the Paladin program this fall after spending the 2002 campaign at Vanderbilt, where he lettered as a true freshman. Josh Stepp, the 2001 Shrine Bowl MVP, is redshirt freshman quarterback who has seen action in two games this year. Brother Justin, meanwhile, is seeing plenty of action at flanker and as a punt return specialist. Lockwood Holmes serves as a reserve cornerback and member of special teams while Austin will likely redshirt this fall, also as a cornerback. IMPRESSIVE LINEAGES...Sophomore linebacker Andrew Carson (Newnan, Ga.) is the brother of former Clemson All-America linebacker Chad Carson. Andrew s father, Tom Carson, played football at Georgia Tech, and his grandfather, Earle Carson, was an end, three-year letterman, and an honorable mention All-American at Furman ( ). A great uncle, M.A. Carson, was a two-time letterwinner as an offensive guard at Furman ( ), and another great uncle, Tom Carson, was an All-South offensive tackle selection and three-year letterman who serve as captain of Furman s 1931 squad. True freshman defensive end Turner Burton (Birmingham, Ala.) sports a strong Alabama Crimson Tide heritage. His great-grandfather, Fred Sington, was a two-time All-America offensive tackle at Alabama, member of the Tide s 1930 national championship team, 1955 inductee into the National Football Foundation Hall-of- Fame, and member of the Alabama Sports Hall-of-Fame. Two of Burton s uncles, Dave Sington ( ) and Fred Sington, Jr. ( ), also played football for Alabama. LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON...Senior placekicker Danny Marshall (Atlanta, Ga.) is the son of former Paladin defensive end Tommy Marshall ( ), who later served as an assistant coach on the Furman staff for eight years ( ), during which time the Paladins captured three conference titles and the 1988 NCAA I-AA national championship. Sophomore cornerback Jon MacDonald (Greer, S.C.) is the son of former Furman wide receiver Norman MacDonald ( ), and sophomore quarterback Matt Cain (Easley, S.C.) is the son of former Paladin assistant and current Vanderbilt offensive coordinator Ted Cain ( ). PALADINS AND GAMECOCKS...Furman starting senior defensive end Brandon Poole (Columbia, S.C.) is the son of 1981 University of South Carolina Heisman Trophy winning running back George Rogers. Furman true freshman Ryan McKie (Simpsonville, S.C.) is the son of James McKie, who was also a running back and former teammate of Rogers at USC. McKie s cousin, B.J. McKie, was a basketball standout for the Gamecocks. PALADINS IN PRESEASON POLLS...A consensus preseason second place Southern Conference pick by league head coaches and media, Furman also recently earned No. 8 and No. 9 national rankings in Sports Network and ESPN-USA Today NCAA I-AA preseason polls. The Paladins finished the 2002 campaign ranked ninth nationally.

FALCONS AND FURMAN...Furman has served as the summer training camp home of the Atlanta Falcons for the past four seasons and will continue to do so for at least the next two years. Lauded by head coach Dan Reeves as the best training camp site he s experienced in his long tenure in the NFL, Furman benefits greatly from its partnership with the the Falcons.
