STATESBORO, Ga. (WTOC) - December 23, the Georgia Southern football team could give Eagle Nation an early Christmas gift: a bowl win against Louisiana Tech.
There’s no denying it: the Eagles are banged up, especially at quarterback. Redshirt senior and starter, Shai Werts, has been nursing a shoulder injury he got in the Army game on November 11. He missed the final two regular-season games.
His backup, sophomore Justin Tomlin, left the Appalachian State game in the second half with an ankle injury, and has since had surgery, ending his season.
