PREVIEW: Georgia Southern travels north for a bout with Power-5 foe Minnesota with both squads looking for an offensive boost

The Eagles will be heading to Minnesota Saturday to take on another Power 5 school, and both teams seem to need a boost on the offense.

The biggest and most important question for the GS offense is the status of redshirt-junior QB Shai Werts, whose status for Saturday’s game remain up in the air.

Redshirt-freshman Justin Tomlin got his first start against the Black Bears where he rushed for 136 yards and a touchdown while just going four-of-nine through the air for 63 yards. If Werts is unable to go, then Tomlin will be playing against a second power-5 team in just the first three weeks of the season.
