When we lost to Georgia Southern in 2014, they were actually a pretty good team. Looking back not much shame in losing that game. It certainly now isn’t nearly as embarassing as Samford scoring 50+ on us last year, although we did win.
Southern had a few bad years apparently trying to make the switch from the triple option to a pro-style passing attack. They finally have the coach and personnel to make it work, it seems.
They were a huge power in FCS (I-AA) before the rise of Appalachian State and then NDSU. The Sun Belt right now is stacked with former FCS champs...Georgia Southern, Marshall, App State, and James Madison just in the East alone.
As a James Madison grad, it is going to be one hell of a rough ride for our first year in FBS. But we’re 2-0 and have dominated so far. Next stop, at Appalachian State in two weeks to begin conference play. Yikes.

Waiting for the day when they start playing Southern in Paulsen Statium
