The first opportunity for the Georgia Southern football team to put the 2017 season behind them comes Saturday as South Carolina State comes to town.
The Bulldogs are the Eagles’ lone FCS opponent this season, and the two teams haven't met since 2010 when GS won 41-16 in Paulson. The Eagles are 7-0 against the Bulldogs and are 35-2 all-time against MEAC teams. And while all these records are good, history won't matter on Saturday.
There's a sense of uncertainty in the opening week for GS’ game plan, especially because the Eagles don't know which quarterback SCST will go with.
