Our guys will be ready to play!

I’m not really sure where these guys get off thinking they are so great. They may be good, but they are certainly not lightyears better than us. I’ll just leave these rankings here...

Georgia Southern offense avg YPG= 115th in the country

Georgia Southern defense avg YPG allowed= 44th in the country

Georgia Southern 5 year FBS, G5 History


5 years ago we switched from the Spread Option to the Pistol Option brought in by Head Coach Fritz. I myself prefer the Spread Triple Option that GSU ran over teams with in FCS. That said Fritz had great success the 2 years he was at Southern.

In GSUs first year in the FBS G5 Sun Belt, Southern went 9-3 in the conference and was leading GT and South Carolina in the last 2 to3 min of the game but lost. A very great start IMO. GSU was not bowl eligible in its first year of FBS.

In 2015 our second year in FBS GSU went 8-4 regular season * We took UGA or Georgia into double overtime but Georgia pulled it out the second overtime.

GSU faced 10-3 Bowling Green in the GoDaddy Bowl
[u]Score [/u]GS 58, BG 27

When HC Fritz left after the end of 2015 season Southern went through 3 head coaches in 2 years and preformed poorly.

In 2018 our new Head Coach and staff are 9-3. The offense has been up and down this year but the defense has been steady. I feel good GSU's rebuilding year under a new HC, Staff & freshman QB.

How about you just talk about this year? All that's well and good, but we are 3 years removed from the GoDaddy Bowl. None of these people here care about that.

Yes, we're proud of where we came from and what we've done. Once again though, no one here is really going to care for you just coming on here and spouting off everything. If someone asks about our history, then yea, fill them in on who we are cause then they're actually interested in hearing more.

Hell, in terms of going to bowls, they've accomplished more lately than we have.

Also our QB is a sophomore, not freshman.
