Lunsford is coming off of a two-game winning streak in which the Eagles have really gotten its act together, in a blowout of South Alabama and a 10-point victory over a middling UL-Lafayette team this past Saturday.
The new head coach will lead the team into its season finale this weekend, when the Eagles face off against a seriously struggling Coastal Carolina squad.
