Notebook: Injuries beginning to take their toll on Eagles' offense

Injuries may be a part of football, but when you're a running offense like Georgia Southern, injuries can have quite an impact when so many are injured at one position. Running teams need running backs, and as it stands, the position needs help heading into Saturday's game against Chattanooga at Paulson Stadium. "I don't know if we have a healthy running back. Period. We don't have one. Not one for the game ...

My Take: Different season, same story for Georgia Southern

This is a familiar story for the Georgia Southern Eagles. In 2012, GSU started its Southern Conference schedule on the road in Charleston, S.C., against The Citadel and lost 23-21. It was a game in which the Eagles were heavy favorites, but they ran into a brick wall of turnovers (2), penalties (6) and special teams (two missed field goals). The Eagles out-gained the Bulldogs 364-253, but that was due more to athleticism ...

Notebook: Eagles try dual-QB look at Wofford

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Jerick McKinnon and redshirt freshman Kevin Ellison split snaps at quarterback in Georgia Southern's 30-20 loss on Saturday at Wofford, and it worked -- on the stat sheet, at least. The pair combined for 23 carries for 212 yards and McKinnon scored a pair of touchdowns, but the Eagles (2-1, 0-1 Southern Conference) turned it over three times after committing none in the first two games of the season. ...

Eagles lay big egg

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- It wasn't Georgia Southern making a statement to the Southern Conference on the way out to the Football Bowl Subdivision. Wofford was the one making all the statements. The Eagles -- the only unbeaten team in the Southern Conference heading into the weekend -- fumbled six times, lost two, threw an interception, committed 5 penalties for 76 yards and turned it over on downs three times ...

GSU Ladies ready for test at Kentucky

Alexis Sams was thrown to the wolves as a freshman during the 2012-13 season for the Georgia Southern women's basketball program. Though the Eagles lost their season opener on the road at Auburn on Saturday, 69-59, it was apparent how far the sophomore point guard has come. "She has been tremendous in the preseason for us and she was really, really solid against Auburn," second-year GSU coach Chris Vozab said. "She did ...
