College football
[edit | edit source]Furtick made Clemson's second score in the 1903 game with Cumberland billed as the championship of the South which ended in an 11–11 tie. It was also John Heisman's last game coached at Clemson. Cumberland had expected a trick play, when Furtick simply ran up the middle he scored.[3] The referee of the Tennessee clash which ended in a tie, Frank Watkins, said "Furtick was as good bucking halfback as he had ever seen."[4] "In the opening game with V. P. I. of 1906 that ended in a scoreless tie, Furtick played what the Atlanta Constitution called "the game of his life" on both sides of the ball.[4]
