Jerodis Williams rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns as Furman upset Wofford 26-21 on Saturday, snapping the Terriers' four-game winning streak.

Williams had TD runs of 4 yards and 1 yard to give the Paladins (4-3, 3-2 Southern Conference) a 13-7 halftime lead in South Carolina's oldest rivalry dating back to 1889.

After Chris Forcier's 2-yard scoring pass to Colin Anderson for Furman, kicker Ray Early missed his second extra-point attempt of the game.

Wofford's Eric Breitenstein, who rushed for 129 yards, capped a 58-yard drive with a 5-yard touchdown run to cut the deficit to 19-14, but the Paladins answered with Tersoo Uhaa's 3-yard TD for a 26-14 lead.
