When Georgia Southern and Massachusetts met on the gridiron last season, it made national headlines. Both teams entered the game in Amherst winless. The Eagles were 0-5 and the Minutemen were 0-6.

The “War of the Winless” was broadcast on ESPN3 and drew attention from neutral fans across the nation to see who was the worst team in FBS. After allowing 55 points, 670 yards of total yards and sacrificing 114 yards on 11 penalties, GS was awarded the worst team in college football.
