Georgia Southern was thrilled to have history repeat itself in the form of beating a ranked Appalachian State squad last week.Unfortunately for the Eagles, the trend didn’t end there. Just like last season, Georgia Southern followed up an emotional win over App State with an equally devastating loss in its next game, taking the Eagles’ control of the Sun Belt East division just days after GS had assumed the top spot in the race. What started out as a day full of promise for the Eagles ended in a runaway 49-28 victory for the Trojans.“We hate to lose as much as we love to win,” GS coach Chad Lunsford said. “(Our guys) are hurting right now.
