In a see-saw season finale, The Citadel Bulldogs lost a heartbreaker to Furman, 17-13. Linebacker Ken- ny Caldwell was injured early in the game, making the Dogs defense vul- nerable to the powerful Furman run- ning attack. The lead changed hands several times and the game was not finished until after the final gun. With two seconds left, FU defenders interfered with a Crosby pass to Mark Slawson in the end zone, given El Cid the ball on the one yard line with no time left on the clock. Stump Mitchell attempted a dive up the middle, but was stopped by Furman linebackers. The season ended with a 5-6 record for the Dogs and the Road Game Jinx still with them. Joe Harvey moves in for an assist. 217
