Georgia State Panthers at Georgia Southern Eagles Overview
The Eagles remain winless on the season and added to their list of misery last Saturday when the Troy State Trojans welcomed the Eagles and them a 38-16 beat down. There is one silver lining in the dark cloud for the Eagles, they finally fostered a cover after a long drought. While there is little to play for at this point, getting a win and taking down a known nemesis carries weight as a moral victory.
The Panthers come in off what must be classed as a hallmark win for their program. The Panthers took down one of the Sun Belt’s sleeper cells this season when they defeated the South Alabama Jaguars 21-13 in Atlanta, last Thursday night. The Panthers come in with two extra days rest and delight in the fact their team has got some momentum heading into the backstretch of the 2017 campaign.
