BYU vs Georgia Southern Game Preview
Why BYU Will Win
It’s not that the Georgia Southern offense has totally stalled, but it doesn’t do what it’s supposed to.
This is a running team that’s been able to bring in the passing attack enough to balance things out, and it all worked against Texas State last week. However, the ground game that ripped it up over the first half of the season isn’t getting the job done – it failed to get to 170 yards in four of the last five games, and now it goes against a BYU run defense that’s rested and good.

On the flip side, the Cougar offense has been a machine with over 1,300 yards and 125 points in the last two games.

The defense that started to wear down a bit – at least it did in the 66-49 win over Virginia – will overcome a few early Georgia Southern scores to dominate in the second half.
