BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana's Hoosiers know how to play those "Statesboro Blues."

That's the sorrowful 1928 composition by Blind Willie McTell. And the leadoff track for the 1971 Allman Brothers classic live album, "At Fillmore East."

And perhaps the state of mind for Georgia Southern's Eagles after a long, hot football Saturday.

Georgia Southern was dispatched back to Statesboro after absorbing a 52-17 shellacking during which the host Hoosiers scored the first 31 points.

It's sometimes tough to accurately gauge results from an apparent mismatch, in terms of where the Hoosiers truly stand at 2-1 after waxing a winless foe.
