The Georgia Southern football team has had a habit of starting slowly away from home, and that trend continued Saturday.
In the past, GS (7-2, 4-1 in Sun Belt) would turn it around — the defense would come away with a turnover or quarterback Shai Werts would make a play if he wasn’t pitching to Wesley Fields for a big gain.
It looked like that would be the theme again Saturday against Louisiana-Monroe, but after a slow start, an Eagle response never came.
After giving up a 2 1/2-minute scoring drive to the Warhawks, the Eagles never found their footing, falling 44-25.
