This week's Purple & Gold football picks (9-30-17)





It's week #5 in the SoCon, and time to pick Saturday's games.

All five games are set for Saturday, four conference games, and one OOC game.






ETSU (2-2, 1-1 SoCon) at Furman (0-3, 0-1 SoCon)   1:00 noon - watch on ESPN3
The Bucs travel to Travelers Rest to meet the Paladins, in what should be a good game.  The Bucs seriously challenge the home standing Paladins, but Furman pulls it out, 35-28.

The Citadel (3-0, 1-0 SoCon) at Samford (2-2, 0-1 SoCon)  3:00 pm EDT - watch on ESPN3
The Citadel Bulldogs travel to Birmingham to meet the Samford Bulldogs to determine the big dog in SoCon football. The home-standing dogs pull out a hard fought victory, 35-31

VMI  (0-4, 0-1 SoCon) at Mercer  (1-3, 0-2 SoCon)   4:00 pm EDT - watch on ESPN3
The winless Keydets travel to Macon to meet the disappointing Bears, winless in two SoCon starts. The pain continues for VMI as the Keydets are unable to slow down the next steamroller headed their way.  Bears win 35-10.

Western Carolina (3-1, 1-0 SoCon) at Chattanooga (0-3, 1-0 SoCon)  6:00 pm EDT - watch on ESPN3
The Cats, riding a three-game winning streak, travels across the mountains to Chattanooga to face the Mocs in what is probably the game of the week in the SoCon. Once again, the Cats defy the odds makers and bring home a victory, Cats pick up win number 4 by a 38-21 margin.

Wofford (3-0) at Presbyterian (2-2)   7:00 pm EDT - watch on BSN
The Wofford Terriers travel to Clinton to play the Blue Hose of the Big South Conference. The Terriers continue to grind out the rushing yardage, eat up the clock, and pile up the victories. Terriers win 38-3.





Record this season:
22-6 overall
