It's a battle of directional schools that's a stylistic mismatch. Eastern's strength on defense is against the pass, which won't help much against an option team. Georgia Southern is also much better on special teams and in the red zone, which should decide this contest. Geo Southern had a horrendous season last year going 2-10 and now this team they have posted 10 wins instead of 10 losses. This team is hungry, motivated and will get up for this game as winning a Bowl Game is a huge stepping stone for this once very proud program that has won many national championships in the past. This is a team that is 9th in the nation in rushing, powerful along both lines and top 30 in points scored against as well. Georgia Southern is a very balanced team, beat Appalachian State by 20 points as a 11 point underdog which speaks volumes, and played Clemson pretty close for a while and saw some tough competition. Eastern Michigan has a solid season but it ends on Saturday vs. GEORGIA SOUTHERN.
