With uncertainty surrounding Georgia Southern s quarterback situation, the best way to take advantage of its triple option offense is by loading up on running backs in your lineup.
Werts, who leads the Eagles in rushing attempts, rushing yards and ground touchdowns, has split first-team snaps with third-string quarterback Miller Mosley.
Georgia Southern head coach Chad Lunsford told WTOC s Lyndsey Gough he will try to get Werts on the field: If he wants to get on the field, we re going to find a way. You know, if it s one play, or a bunch of plays, I don t know if he wants to do it, if he feels like his body can do it. Obviously, we re not going to put him in a situation where his health is at stake or anything like that. Shai is a warrior. Has done a lot for this program, and definitely would want to reward him with that if we could.
