Just one last obstacle for the Minnesota Golden Gophers to overcome before their bye week and then the start of Big Ten conference play: the Georgia Southern Eagles.
Were they any good last year?
2018 Record: 10-3 (6-2, 3rd Sun Belt East)
Postseason: W 23-21 vs Eastern Michigan, Camellia Bowl
Final 2018 S&P+ Ranking: 63rd
Yes. The Eagles rebounded from a 2-10 record in 2017 to reach 10 wins for the first time since 2012. It was Chad Lunsford’s first season at the helm after serving as interim head coach for six games the previous year following the midseason firing of Tyson Summers.
