Ironically, Furman s win over The Citadel came against a Bulldog squad coached by Art Baker, who turned over the Paladins head coaching reins to Sheridan following the 1977 season. GUTSY START...Furman opened Saturday s 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. PALADIN STADIUM PUNCH...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 (.793) the third highest home field winning percentage in NCAA I-AA. NOTING THE PALADINS PURPLE CONNECTIONS...Saturday s game between Furman and Gardner-Webb will be a homecoming of sorts for Gardner-Webb head coach Steve Patton 77, who lettered three years ( ) as a defensive back for the Paladins under former head coach Art Baker. While at Furman, Patton, a native of Oneonta, Ala., was the roommate of current Paladin defensive coordinator Steve Wilson 77, who lettered four years ( ) at linebacker. Current Gardner-Webb assistant coach Phil Jones is the father of former Paladin quarterback and NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship recipient Philly Jones ( ), the sixth leading passer in Furman history (3,721 yards). Current Bulldogs defensive coordinator and Greenville native Lorick Atkinson served as a defensive assistant at Furman in FURMAN VERSUS THE BIG SOUTH...Although Furman s clash against Gardner-Webb this Saturday will be its first against the Bulldogs, the Paladins have compiled a combined 26-8 football mark against two other current members of the Big South Conference: VMI and Liberty. Furman actually notched its entire 23-8 series record against VMI during the Keydets tenure in the Southern Conference, and the Paladins recorded a 3-0 worksheet against Liberty prior to the Flames entry into the league in football. Furman, which clipped VMI 21 straight times (1980-current) prior to the Keydets exit from the SoCon earlier this year, in all has won 24 consecutive games against teams who currently comprise the Big South Conference.

W3 Gardner-Webb Charleston Southern Coastal Carolina Totals W24 WEST, SUDDERTH TO RETURN...Furman junior wide receiver Isaac West (Augusta, Ga.) and junior tight end Willis Sudderth (Lilburn, Ga.) will see their first action of the season on Saturday against Gardner-Webb after serving a three-game suspension. West and Sudderth were both named to the preseason All-Southern Conference squad. A year ago West caught 39 passes for 708 yards and a team leading seven touchdowns despite missing three games with a fractured collarbone. Sudderth, meanwhile, earned his second consecutive all-conference honor in 2002 after catching eight passes for 103 yards and a touchdown. 25TH ANNIVERSARY...Furman will celebrate the 25th anniversary of its 1978 Southern Conference championship football team at halftime of Saturday s game against Gardner-Webb. Under the direction of then first year head coach Dick Sheridan, Furman s 1978 team went 8-3 overall (including a pair of losses to South Carolina and Vanderbilt) and 4-1 in league play to claim the first of what has since grown to a conference record 11 league crowns for the Paladins. Furman s ascension to the league s most dominant program over the past 25 years occurred in dramatic fashion in the regular season finale against arch-rival The Citadel, when the Paladins tackled Bulldog running back Stump Mitchell at the 1-yard line on the CHARTING FURMAN S OPPONENTS Opponent Current Record Last Result Elon d.

Gateway UNI-Dome Pennsylvania... Ivy Franklin Field TOUGH AT HOME OF LATE...Since 1999 Furman has posted a 25-4 record in Paladin Stadium (.862). That stretch includes a 23-2 regular season worksheet (.920) and 16-1 slate (.941) versus Southern Conference competition. Included in that time frame was a 14-game winning streak against league foes that, when added to a triumph over Chattanooga in the 1998 season finale, accounted for a school record 15-game conference home winning streak before being halted last year. 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 (.738), which ranks seventh among NCAA I-AA scholarship-based programs who compete for the national championship.

Marshall also moved into fifth place on the Southern Conference s career kick scoring chart, passing both Wells and former Appalachian State standout Bjorn Nittmo (250 points, ), and into fifth place on Furman s overall career scoring ledger. Heading into Saturday s game against Gardner-Webb, he has made good on 38-of-48 field goal attempts (.792) and 137-of-146 PATs (.938). Last year he converted 12-of-14 field goals on the way leading Furman in scoring with 75 points.

The game will be broadcast by TFN nationally and on regional sports networks around the country to an estimated audience of 35 million people. 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. NEW FACES ON OFFENSIVE LINE...Furman s biggest rebuilding task in 2003 clearly lies on its offensive front, where the Paladins headed into the preseason with only two returning starters from a year ago. That number was reduced to one in early August when junior center Craig Morgan (Huntington, W.Va.) was sidelined with a concussion, leaving junior left tackle Ben Bainbridge (Oklahoma City, Okla.) as the only returning regular from a year ago. Bainbridge has been joined in the starting lineup in the early going by four sophomores, including guards Clayton Dyson (North Augusta, S.C.) and Patrick Covington (Charlotte, N.C.), right tackle Brian Laggis (Stockbridge, Ga.), and center Corey Stewart (Lilburn, Ga.). In addition, two other players, sophomore guard Andrew Thornburg (Snellville, Ga.) and redshirt freshman Jeff Fambrough (Atlanta, Ga.) have earned quality playing time through three games, totaling 81 and 61 snaps, respectively. 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. BURANT STEPPING UP...Junior nose guard Michael Burant (Lexington, Va.) has gotten off to a solid start this year. In the season opener he tallied five tackles in the Paladins 24-7 win over Elon, and in game two he notched a career high seven stops, including two-for-loss, in the Paladins setback at Clemson. 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 Counting his three tackles in Saturday s win over Richmond, Burant has 15 tackles on the season, only eight shy of the 23 stops he collected an injury plagued 2002 campaign that saw him register action in only eight contests. LINEBACKERS MAKING THE PLAYS...Furman s linebacking corps appears to be living up to its billing as the league s strongest group as through three games the Paladins three leading tacklers are linebackers. Leading the way is junior Mike Killian (Atlanta, Ga.) with a team leading 37 tackles, two tackles-for-loss, an interception, forced fumble, and pass deflection. Next are junior All-Southern Conference performer Cedrick Ritter (Fairfax, S.C.) and sophomore William Freeman (Swansea, S.C.), who have contributed 26 tackles each. Senior All-Southern Conference performer Keito Whetstone (Orangeburg, S.C.), meanwhile, ranks sixth on the team in tackles with 15 stops despite being sidelined for the Richmond game with a sprained ankle sustained in the Paladins loss to Clemson. 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 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 103 tackles, 6.5 tackles-for-loss, three pass deflections, a sack, an interception, and a forced fumble through three games. 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, recording seven tackles, an interception, and a forced fumble on the way to earning league defensive player-of-the-week honors. For Newton, the interception was his seventh in now 15 career starts, and the forced fumble stopped an Elon drive at the Paladin two-yard line. He has 19 tackles in three 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. QUICK HITS...Sophomore cornerback Maurice Duncan (Aiken, S.C.) notched his first career interception Saturday in the Paladins win over Richmond. Fullback Al Means 47-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter was a career long for the junior from Charlotte, N.C. THE EXPERIENCE FACTOR...Furman counts only five seniors on its 2003 squad but is well stocked with juniors (22) and sophomores (27). Furman s offensive and defensive starting lineup against Gardner-Webb will likely feature two seniors, 11 juniors, and nine sophomores. FURMAN CAREER STARTING EXPERIENCE LEDGER Pos.

Another newcomer who has made his presence known in the early going is redshirt

5 freshman defensive end Roy Ravenell (Goose Creek, S.C.), who has tallied 12 tackles and a pair of forced fumbles (both against Clemson) through three games. Other first year players who have earned quality playing time thus far include redshirt freshman center Jeff Fambrough (Atlanta, Ga.) with 61 snaps; redshirt freshman wide receiver/return specialist Justin Stepp (Pelion, S.C.), who has averaged 6.6 yards on eight punt returns and caught three passes for 42 yards; and redshirt freshman defensive tackle Wesley Bray (Cave Spring, Ga.) with four tackles. 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 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 will compete for backup action this fall. 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.
