Georgia Southern was utterly embarrassing in all three phases of football on Saturday and took a beating at the hands of UL-Monroe by a score of 44-25, leading to Southern’s first conference loss of the season.
The Eagles were attacked early and often by the air attack of Warhawks’ quarterback Caleb Evans, who cleared 337 yards passing and a pair of scores on just 13 completions as Southern turned back the clock to 2017, a time when its defense was incomprehensibly bad and the offense had zero identity.
I had been beating the drum all year going into last week against Appalachian State that the Eagles cannot just sit out the first quarter/half of every single game it plays and expect to win.
