Coming off an ugly loss to No. 6 LSU, the Georgia Southern football team will be looking to redeem themselves in their home opener against Maine Saturday.
The Eagles season opener against LSU was not pretty as they lost 55-3, and they also lost redshirt-sophomore defensive end Justin Ellis for the season. The Syracuse transfer suffered a knee injury during the game, putting him out for the season. Redshirt-junior quarterback Shai Werts was also injured in the LSU game, but he’s been ruled as day-to-day and should be good to play Saturday.
The Eagles showed there’s a lot to be worked on, but Lunsford remains confident in the team.
