Campbell vs Georgia Southern Preview
The Eagles went 7-6 overall and 5-3 in Sun Belt play a season ago, finishing two games back of the Appalachian State Mountaineers in the league’s East Division for a place in the conference title game.
Their campaign ended with a 23-16 defeat to the Liberty Flames in the Cure Bowl.
“Our guys understand the way things finished last year and they don’t want it to go that way this year,” Georgia Southern head coach Chad Lunsford said, according to the Savannah Morning News. “I’m hearing a lot more player-led football team this year than I did last year, which I think is great.”
Georgia Southern was strong on the ground on both sides of the ball in 2019, rushing for 252.8 yards per game, the eighth-best mark among 130 FBS teams, and holding opponents to 136.7 rushing yards per game, the 35th-lowest figure in the FBS.
This despite a statistical step back from dual-threat quarterback Shai Werts, who’s entering his fourth season as the team’s starter.
In 2018, he led all Sun Belt players with 15 rushing touchdowns, carrying 182 times for 908 yards (5 yards per carry) across 13 games. He also completed 69 of 113 passes (59.5 percent) for 987 yards, 10 touchdowns and no interceptions.
In 11 games last season, Werts went 67-of-127 (52.8 percent) for 799 yards, 9 scores and a pick, and carried 171 times for 733 yards (4.3 yards per carry) and 5 touchdowns.
“I know last season wasn’t my best performance and that was due to a lot of reasons,” Werts said, per the Savannah Morning News. “This offseason that was my fuel. I feel like they forgot what I had done, which is cool.”
The Camels posted a 6-5 record in 2019, going 3-3 in Big South play.
Their offense is helmed by sophomore quarterback Hajj-Malik Williams, who last year completed 56.5 percent of his passes for 2,022 yards, 17 touchdowns and 9 interceptions across 11 contests en route to the Big South offensive freshman of the year award.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Camels have just four games scheduled, the maximum number of fall nonconference contests permitted this year by the Big South, which is intending to play out its football schedule in the spring.
“The only thing that we know now is that the Big South will give you an opportunity to play four games,” Campbell head coach Mike Minter said in August, according to The Fayetteville Observer.
He added: “The coaches, I know we want to play, I know the players want to play. If this is the best option for us to play football this fall, we’re excited about the opportunity.”
