CHSO 0/GASO 31
Things to say
Georgia Southern shut out Charleston Southern 31-0 at home to open 1-0.
01
opener
Georgia Southern handled their business, 31-0. Never looked close. Charleston Southern just couldn't move the ball all night.
02
key player
Max Johnson was surgical, 28 of 39 for 281 and a score. Dude carved them up.
03
hot take
A shutout looks great, but that's an FCS opponent that's now 0-2. Let's see it against real competition.
04
deep cut
Ashton Hollins went off for 106 on eight grabs, and that 57-yard bomb basically put it out of reach early.
05
exit
Fun tune-up, but the schedule gets real soon. Curious what they look like against somebody who can actually score.
The recap
Georgia Southern smothered Charleston Southern 31-0 in a game that was over by halftime. Max Johnson carved up the Bucs for 281 yards through the air, and his 57-yard strike to Ashton Hollins made it 14-0 before the visitors ever found their footing.
Charleston Southern simply couldn't move the ball, managing a pathetic 35 passing yards while the defense pitched a shutout. The Eagles rolled the score up on four different scorers and never let their foot off the gas.
