Shai Werts walked into the media room Monday following the ULM game the same way he had all season, shoulders slumped wearing a black Georgia Southern sweatshirt. He casually stood at the podium, fielding questions with a discreet tone, per usual.
Remarkably, the 21-year old took complete blame for the upset shellacking that occurred just three days before in Louisiana. He didn't make excuses, he didn't call out his teammates or coaches, he didn't waltz around the fact that the Eagles may have just forfeited the Sun Belt East title.
“Losing this game was a slap in the face, it definitely humbled us,” Werts said.
