Georgia Southern Eagles at Massachusetts Minutemen Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Eagles remain winless on the season and added to their list of woes last Saturday when the New Mexico State Aggies came to Statesboro and handed GSU a 35-27 loss. There is one silver lining in the dark cloud for the Eagles, each week their offense has found ways to generate more offense. In their season opener they yielded just seven points. The Eagles feature a unique offensive approach to the game in that they are purveyors of the triple option.

Needless to say, Massachusetts has had a very tumultuous campaign in their own right. The Minutemen have lost four of their six losses by just one possession. In fact, UMass has even looked impressive in some of their defeats. Most notably, the Militia took it to the Tennessee Volunteers at Rocky Top when they fell by a score of 17-13 despite closing as a 28-point road pup. As an underdog on the year, the Minutemen have been a 50/50 proposition. As a favorite however, they have stumbled mightily.
