After a nine-win season during Samford’s first trip through a Southern Conference schedule in 2009, nobody could have seen this coming. The Georgia Southern Eagles knew heading in that the back-to-back road trips to Charleston and Elon would be big, and now for the third week in a row, the Eagles are facing a team at the top of the conference. The Bulldogs (21-11, 11-1 SoCon) come into today’s game tied for first with The Citadel.
