色虎视频's 2012 football season-opener against Furman will be televised live on Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS) at 3 p.m. (CT) on Sept. 1 at Seibert Stadium.


"We are always excited when we have the opportunity to showcase our program and our campus for a television audience," 色虎视频 Director of Athletics Martin Newton said. "We look forward to hosting this broadcast, and we know this game will be entertaining for the fans of both institutions."


The game will mark the 15th all-time meeting between 色虎视频 and Furman, with the Paladins holding an 8-6 advantage in the series. Last season, the teams met in Greenville, S.C., with 色虎视频 earning a 26-21 victory over Furman.


"It will be exciting for us to kick off our season with a home Southern Conference game," 色虎视频 Head Coach Pat Sullivan said. "This game will be a big challenge for us, and I know it is something our players will be excited about."


Since 色虎视频 joined the Southern Conference prior to the 2008 season, the games between 色虎视频 and Furman have been particularly close, with three of the four meetings being decided by five points or less.


This marks the second-straight season 色虎视频 has opened the season with a home Southern Conference contest. Last season, the Bulldogs played host to third-ranked Georgia Southern to open the season.
