COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Furman may have just one more game to get its season back on track. But the Paladins will have to beat No. 1 Appalachian State to do it.

Furman (4-3, 2-2 Southern Conference) has found its season and playoff chances on the brink after losing to Chattanooga for the first time in 16 years.

The Paladins have struggled just like every other SoCon team against the Mountaineers (7-0, 5-0), who have won 25 straight league games. Appalachian State last lost in the conference more than three years ago.

In other games involving South Carolina's Football Championship Subdivision teams, Wofford travels to The Citadel; South Carolina State is at Delaware State; Presbyterian hosts Liberty; Coastal Carolina travels to Gardner-Webb; and Charleston Southern is at Stony Brook.
