For the first time in nearly two years, the Georgia Southern Eagles can find themselves with a winning record should they get past the South Carolina State Bulldogs on Saturday.

But who are we kidding. At this point in the year everyone’s just happy to see an actual pigskin flying through the air, end-over-end or otherwise. There’s a game at Paulson Stadium this Saturday, and that’s good enough for me.

Start Time: 6:05 p.m. EST, Saturday, Sept. 1

Location: Paulson Stadium, Statesboro, Georgia

TV/Streaming: ESPN+, with Greg Talbott providing play by play and Danny Waugh as analyst

Records: Georgia Southern (0-0, 0-0 Sun Belt), SCSU (0-0, 0-0 MEAC)

Weather: 86 degrees at kickoff, 6 MPH winds, partly cloudy, 4 percent chance of rain

Betting Line: Officially none, although this site lists GS as a 27-point favorite with an over/under of 45

Georgia Southern Outlook

It looks like football season.
