Both Georgia Southern and Appalachian State closed out its regular seasons on Saturday afternoon, with the Mountaineers handing the Eagles a 55-27 beating in a result nobody could have possibly foreseen.
Despite the team’s shortcomings on the road this season, the Eagles jumped out to a quick 14-3 lead after the first quarter, making this author believe he would have to eat crow, which I would have done happily, as I did in last season’s Appalachian State game.
But what happened after the first quarter? Well, GS quarterback Davis Brin turned back into a pumpkin, finishing the game with 3 interceptions and no touchdown passes as App State took advantage of nearly every mistake Southern made.
