begun to fall It would have been nothing unusual for the Catamounts to have succeeded for that is how the series has gone for the past three seasons In 1983 with time running down in Cullowhee Furman kicked a field goal for a 1717 tie that ruined the Catamounts' upset hopes But Western came back later in the year and defeated Furman 14-7 in the national playoffs on the way to the NCAA Division IAA championship game Last season Western squeaked by the Paladins 20-19 in the fourth quarter ruining Furman's playoff hopes The two schools have had the best record in the Southern Conference the past two seasons with Western Carolina going 19-64 and Furman 18-5-1 and the meaning of their games has been so important that some Western Carolina fans say that the intensity has surpassed that of the Catamounts' traditional mountain rivalry with Appalachian State But no matter how important the game was to Western Carolina it was doubly important for Furman which was seeking to regain some respect
