GREENVILLE, S.C. — Ryan Ingram's one-yard touchdown plunge midway through the third quarter to gave Wofford a 19-10 lead, and the Terriers made it stand in beating Furman 19-13 in Southern Conference football action and 98th meeting in the Deep South's Oldest Football Rivalry Saturday at Paladin Stadium.

The win by Wofford (5-5, 3-4 SoCon) was its second in a row over Furman (2-7, 1-4 SoCon) but only its second in the Terriers' last eight visits to Paladin Stadium.

With the game tied 10-10 at halftime, Wofford took the lead for good on the first possession of the second half after covering 57 yards in seven plays for a 39-yard Devery Cagle field goal.

After forcing a Furman punt, the Terriers used a 43-yard pass from quarterback Amari Odom to Kyle Watkins to the Paladin 7.  On third and goal from the five-yard line, Odom escaped pressure at his 12, rolled left and threw incomplete into the end zone; Furman, however, was penalized for roughing the passer to give Wofford a first down at the 2.  Two plays later Ingram bulled one yard into the end zone for the score.

The Terriers missed the PAT, but led 19-10 with 5:54 remaining.

Furman drove to the Wofford 15 on the ensuing possession, but Carson Jones was sacked by Marcus Dees at the 23, forcing the Paladins to settle for a 41-yard Ian Williams field goal three plays into the fourth quarter.

The Paladins threatened midway through the period after moving to the Wofford 21, but Jones was sacked on successive plays for a loss of 17 yards to the 38-yard line, forcing a punt.

Wofford took over at its own six-yard line with 5:02 to go and ran off over four minutes of clock before Sam Spence's punt was downed at the Furman 18 with 57 seconds on the clock.  Three plays later and facing a fourth-and-one play at its own 27, running back Grant Robinson was tackled for a one-yard loss.

Furman scored its only touchdown of the game on the game's first possession, moving 68 yards in seven plays for a seven-yard Myion Hicks scoring burst.

Leading 7-0 following a Wofford punt, the Paladins threatened on their second possession, advancing to the Wofford 23, but Gavin Hall was stripped by Javario Tinch, and Amir Anoor, who recovered the ball and advanced it to the Wofford 34.  From there the Terriers needed just four plays to move 66 yards to tie the game on a 4-yard touchdown pass from Odom to Dylan Djete.

Furman tallied 135 yards in offense in the first quarter but managed only 149 over the final three quarters to finish with 284 total yards, including just 55 rushing on 35 attempts.  Wofford, meanwhile, finished with 385 yards, rushing for 153 and passing for 252.

Jones completed 21-of-33 passes for 229 yards but was sacked five times.  Odom connected on 14-of-25 throws for 2112 yards.

Ingram led Wofford's ground game with 120 yards on 23 carries.

Furman plays at ETSU next Saturday in a noon game.
