If one were going to give a grade to the Georgia Southern Eagles halfway through the season, one might be tempted to issue an “incomplete.” The Eagles (4-2, 2-2 Southern Conference) pounded Savannah State and St. Francis by a combined score of 136-26, before being eaten alive by injuries and going 2-2 in conference play, winning two tough home games against Chattanooga and The Citadel and losing two tough road games to the SoCon’s top two teams — Wofford and Samford. The injury bug has forced the Eagles into doing some things on both sides of the football that they’re not entirely comfortable with, but one can’t issue a grade based on injured talent, only the product on the field.
My Take: GSU football midterm grades
