Georgia Southern vs. Western Michigan Preview: Now It’s Serious

When last the Georgia Southern Eagles and Western Michigan Broncos met, PJ Fleck was seen as an up-and-coming coach who might really make something of his team.

In the end, GS was more than up to the challenge and ran (literally) to a 43-17 blowout. WMU went on to finish 8-5, missing the MAC title game and winning an obscure bowl.

This time around Fleck is finally living up to the promise his recruiting classes suggest. The Broncos rowed the boat to not one but two Big Ten wins, and now the G5 throwdown takes place in their house.
