Myrtle Beach Bowl Picks and Best Bets: Georgia Southern Preview <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, Georgia Southern\u2019s overall profile isn\u2019t that much different from the 2022 version.  A closer look reveals that the team has made improvements defending the run.  Last year they allowed 240 rush yards per game, at a very poor 5.75 per carry.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Numbers like that often spell doom for a bowl team, and Georgia Southern lost outright (favored by 4) to Buffalo.  This year, the run numbers are 4.55 allowed per carry, and just 155 yards allowed per game.  Two areas have declined.  The Eagles allowed over 62% through the air to opposing QB\u2019s, after allowing 59% a year ago.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Georgia Southern’s Players Are Almost All Playing!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sacks allowed are way up, from a spectacular seven allowed in 2022 to 29 allowed this year.  As of this writing, most, if not all of their starters are expected to play, a theme that will NOT be present throughout this bowl season.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve studied QB\u2019s for over 30 years.  QB Brin is one of the most turnover-prone players I\u2019ve ever covered.  He\u2019s thrown 40 interceptions in the past three seasons (34 games).  RB White did not play in their season finale.  I project a 15-60 stat line for him, so Brin has to be more accurate in this game.  There\u2019s enough talent in the pass game to make Ohio have to cover several pass targets.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
