We are three days away from LSU’s 2019 football season beginning. With Saturday fast approaching the focus is shifting toward LSU’s opponent, Georgia Southern from the Sun Belt. The Eagles have been on the FBS level since 2014 after winning six FCS national championships.
Georgia Southern has had its share of ups and downs since jumping up to the FBS: the Eagles won the Sun Belt in its inaugural season, and went 9-4 in 2015. But in 2017, the Eagles went 2-10 and fired former coach Tyson Summers after an 0-6 start. Chad Lunsford took over and the Eagles went from 2-10 in 2017 to 10-3 in 2018.
