Georgia Southern Preview

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Georgia Southern has been one giant toothache for the West Virginia University football coaches to prepare for this summer.

The Eagles do some unconventional things, especially on offense, requiring Mountaineer defensive coordinator Tony Gibson to spend more time in the film room than Gene Siskel.

What Gibson has been watching is his personal “Nightmare on Elm Street.”

“I told all of the guys (Monday), ‘Get rid of everything Georgia Southern after this game. I don’t ever want to see it again,’” he joked.

What makes Georgia Southern’s offense so unique is they run an option attack out of the shotgun.
