Football players sign autographs for their fans.
By Doug Kidd Asst. If the old football adage that defense, as well as a strong running game, wins championships were to be better exemplified than Saturday's matchup between nationally ranked GSU and Furman, it would have to come from a contest between one of Lombardi's great Packer teams and the 1985 Chicago Bears. This weekend's game involves two teams vying for the Southern Conference championship while both being ranked nationally in the top 10 in scoring offense, defense and rushing yards per game. GSU, looking for win number one hundred at Paulson Stadium, is trying to force a tie for the conference lead, leading eventually to the program's third consecutive title. I think they're going to come in and know what's at stake.
