This season is the beginning of the post-Shai Werts era in Statesboro, as Chad Lunsford looks to enter the year with a brand new starting quarterback for the first time since taking over as Georgia Southern’s head coach in 2017.
The season has not even begun yet, but the Eagles are already off to a rocky start and will be without presumed starting quarterback Justin Tomlin for the first two games of the year against Gardner-Webb and Florida Atlantic.
This preview will go through the positives and negatives of the team as a whole with observations on each of these items, rather than a game-by-game breakdown.
