Georgia Southern squeaks out a win against South Alabama in double-OT, 20-17

Georgia Southern appeared only in principle on Thursday night against maybe the worst (or second-worst with the Eagles included) Sun Belt team, and essentially slept-walked through a double overtime win against South Alabama by a score of 20-17.

Before I get into the breakdown of this game, I just want to go on the record and say that Eagles’ offensive coordinator Bob DeBesse should have been fired before he left Mobile last night.

Athletic Director Tom Kleinlein looks at this stage like he is 1-for-3 on successfully hiring head coaches, and ran off the one successful head coach he lucked into hiring by refusing to pay Willie Fritz.
