Georgia Southern smacks Savannah State, 48-3

STATESBORO, GA - The triple option returned to Georgia Southern on Saturday night. A lot of optimism for the Eagles came back after a game at Paulson Stadium as well.

"I'm just glad they were happy at the end of the game," GSU first-year coach Jeff Monken said.
