I lived on st simons island for 15 years. I knew football players that played for Erk and won the fcs championships. I knew tons of other GSU grads. There are some serious dog fans there also. I always got picked on for being from Florida especially Florida/Georgia week. I got called some names I can’t post here. But that’s expected from dog fans?
Looking forward to the game.Posted On: Jan 25th 2020, 10:56 PM #393696
Many GSU fans say F to UGA

GSC started in FCS in 1984 under Erk Russell, From 1985,running the flex option, he played for 4 National championships winning 3 and was in every playoff game from 1985 - 1999 winning the 1999 NC, went a 15-0 record & retired with & winning 82% of his games.
GSU had many vert good Flex option coaches.
Paul Jonson also running the Flex Option was at GSU from 1997=2001, won 86% of his games, was in the playoffs all 5 years, played for 3 National Championships winning 2.
*(GSU now runs the Shotgun option brought in by Head Coach Fritz.)* The 2 years he was at GSU he did very well in our first 2 years of FBS pay won the Sun Belt and the 2nd year a bowl. After Fritz left we went through 3 head coaches in 2 years.
Our current head coach also runs the Shotgun option with average success. I'd rather return to the Flex option. Under the Flex GSU was use to 380 rushing YPG and 100 Passing yards a game scoring between 38-45 points a game.
If our Shotgun option does not improve by 150% I fear for a long season.
On a positive note when GSU became a university, money came poring in and the campus was completely rebuilt
When GSU joined FBS the stadium was enlarged from 18,000 to 27,000 seats and a 56,000Sq.Ft football sports center was added to the west end zone. A children's football field was addedin front of the field house so they could play instead of bothering their parents for 3 hours

Passing 12 attempts per game @ 52% completion rate
75 YPG
Rushing

Total Offense 327 ypg

GSU actually did better in 2018 with a 10-3 record and 31 ppg winning it bowl game.
For the last 4 years we have been below average during the 3 coach change up for an option team and average for the last 2 years.
