Eagles win convincingly over South Carolina State in the first game of the Lunsford Era

Entering Head Coach Chad Lunsford's first full season, there were questions about what to expect from this team and would they be able to bounce back from 2017's abysmal two-win season.

The Eagles quieted the critics, for now at least, with their 37-6 victory over South Carolina State, showing that they could effectively run the option, and throw if necessary.

GS started the game a little slow, it wasn't until 3:55 left in the first quarter that Monteo Garrett rushed in for a one-yard score. The Eagles would then go for two but fail on the attempt, making it 6-0.
