SoCon Notebook: No. 20 Chattanooga not fooled by Elon’s record

Heading into the season, Elon had everything going for it. The Phoenix were coming off a 9-3 season and a playoff appearance, and entered 2010 with senior quarterback Scott Riddle named as the Southern Conference preseason offensive player of the year. Seven games into the season, Elon sits at 2-5 overall, and 1-3 in conference play. "I've really reflected here not just this week but the last couple of weeks," said ...

My Take: A look at life without Jaybo

I spent most of the drive up to Charleston over the weekend thinking about how The Citadel just installed almost the exact-same offense as Georgia Southern and has a couple of true freshmen quarterbacks at the helm, and about how interesting it would be to get a hint of what the first-year offense would look like if Jaybo Shaw never transferred to GSU.

GSU Football Notebook: Citadel lends a hand in learning experience

Jerick McKinnon played an entire game for the first time as a Georgia Southern Eagle Saturday in the 20-0 win over The Citadel, and although starter Jaybo Shaw could have come back in if he had to, the coaching staff let the true freshman ride from the third offensive play until the final whistle.

CHARLESTON, S.C. - For the first time since 1973, The Citadel didn't allow its opponent to complete a pass. Plus, Georgia Southern lost its starting quarterback to a hip injury on the second play of the game.

GSU looks to get back on track against Citadel

CHARLESTON, S.C. - Georgia Southern coach Jeff Monken was expressing his concern at practice this week about the youth the Eagles had in their secondary, noting that at one point last week against Chattanooga there were four true freshmen on the field. Pass defense should not be a major concern this week as the Eagles prepare for a 1 p.m. Southern Conference game Saturday at The Citadel. The Bulldogs (2-5, ...

My Take: Down, but not out... right?

It's that time of year again. Based on the previous five seasons, the battle cry of the Georgia Southern Eagles has appeared to have been, 'The playoffs start now,' come mid-October each year. After Saturday's eight-point loss up in the mountains of Chattanooga, Tenn., it's same song, different chorus. The Eagles (3-3, 1-2 Southern Conference) once again have to "circle the wagons," as sophomore defensive tackle Brent Russell so eloquently put ...

GSU Football Notebook: Learning curve starting to level for Eagles

The win/loss column may not be where the Georgia Southern Eagles wanted it to be at this point before the season started, but with so many question marks entering the year on the offensive side of the ball, first-year coach Jeff Monken has a better feel for his team's capabilities six games in.

Big offense helps Mocs sock GSU

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - It was all well and good at halftime, as Georgia Southern led Chattanooga 20-14, but early in the third quarter when the Mocs had the ball on 4th-and-21 from the 23-yard line, they had the No. 21 Eagles right where they wanted them. Although UTC kicker Jeff Veeres missed the field goal, Georgia Southern defensive tackle Roderick Tinsley hit the holder, resulting in a personal foul, an automatic ...

So long to the SoCon

ELON, N.C. - For the last time in program history, the Georgia Southern Eagles played a game on grass painted with a Southern Conference logo.

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 ...
