Big plays spark Furman to 24-14 victory over The Citadel
GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) Furman used two big plays in the first quarter to grab a quick lead and never looked back, posting a 24-14 victory over The Citadel in Southern Conference play on Saturday.
The Citadel took advantage of a Furman turnover to take a 7-0 first-quarter lead. Marquise Blount forced a Jace Wilson fumble that was recovered by the Bulldogs' Saul Diaz at the Furman 31-yard line. Four plays later Jaylan Adams scored on a 1-yard run. It took three plays for Furman (4-2, 2-1) to get even - a Wilson-to-Ryan Miller scoring strike covered the final 58 yards. After The Citadel turned the ball over on downs at the Paladins' 10-yard line, Dominic Roberto raced 90 yards for a TD on first down and a 14-7 Furman lead with 1:56 left in the opening quarter.
Timmy Bleekrode's 21-yard field goal was the only scoring in the third quarter, giving Furman a 17-7 lead. Adams' second 1-yard TD run pulled the Bulldogs (2-4, 1-2) within 17-14 just 2 seconds into the final quarter. The Citadel was forced to punt and lost two fumbles on their next three possessions. Furman took a two-score lead with 3:36 left to play on Devin Abrams' 1-yard TD run.
Roberto finished with 132 yards on 12 carries for the Paladins.
Adams completed 9 of 17 passes for 123 yards with one interception. He also ran for 118 yards on 35 carries.
