STATESBORO - Georgia Southern coach Mike Sewak knows why his team got stuck in a rut in Saturday's 14-7 loss to Wofford. <br>
<br>
``They forced us to use up our blockers so we didn't have anyone to block their free safety,'' Sewak said. ``It seemed like they made all the tackles and all the plays on the perimeter.'' <br>
<br>
The Eagles trailed Wofford 6-0 for three quarters before they finally went ahead 7-6 with 14:20 left in the final period on a 2-yard run by Zzream Walden. <br>
<br>
But Wofford's Jesse McCoy, who scored on a 30-yard run in the first quarter, ran in the winning touchdown with 3:55 left after a 10-play, 81-yard drive. <br>
<br>
``We really had our backs against the wall at the end of the game,'' Wofford coach Mike Ayers said. <br>
<br>
The Terriers followed up with a 2-point conversion on a run by Jeff Zolman. <br>
<br>
Wofford (3-0) handed Southern (1-2) its 13th home field loss against 119 victories in the Southern Conference opener for both teams. <br>
<br>
McCoy finished with 113 yards on nine carries. Zolman ran for 74 yards and completed 6 of 8 passes for another 40.
