Georgia Southern 37 South Carolina State 6: Three things we learned from the Eagles’ opening win

It wasn’t quite as easy as it looked for the Georgia Southern Eagles are they burned out a 37-6 win over the South Carolina State Bulldogs Saturday night at Paulson Stadium.

For the most part the contest was as advertised. GS comfortably turned in a season-opening win against an overmatched opponent and hopefully worked out the kinks as we move closer to conference football. A crowd of 15,260 showed up and showed out, then headed home for the evening as attention turns to week two.

The score line looks right, but it was far from convincing at times.
