It is easy to look disappointingly at the final score of Saturday night's game, a 41-7 loss at Auburn, and be blind to some promising signals for Georgia Southern.
The offense was stagnant, yes, but context is crucial to that fact - including an experienced Auburn defense that is hungry to prove themselves as one of the best in the SEC.

Giving up 41 points makes a little more sense when you consider Auburn's 25 first downs on offense to eight for the Eagles. The inability of the offense to budge Auburn's defensive line translated directly to a worn out GS defense.
