Eagles it may have to take to the air against Wofford

Georgia Southern begins its bid for a sixth consecutive Southern Conference football crown Saturday night, perhaps having to delve into a seldom-used offensive attack - the forward pass - to get by Wofford. <br> <br> The Eagles (1-1) became a dominating team in Division I-AA primarily with a solid running game, but the Terriers seem to always have an exceptional defense against the run. <br> <br> Wofford held I-AA rushing king Adrian Peterson to two of his lowest outputs - 106 yards his freshman year and 96 yards last season. <br> <br> &#34;We&#39;re definitely going to have to throw the ball against them,&#34; Southern coach Mike Sewak said. <br> <br> The Wofford-Southern game is the feature attraction on Saturday&#39;s schedule that also sees Valdosta State and West Georgia begin Gulf South Conference action. <br> <br> Valdosta State will entertain Delta State and West Georgia visits Southern Arkansas. <br> <br> In games involving the state&#39;s other two Division I-AA teams, Morris Brown meets Clark Atlanta and Savannah State takes on perennial power South Carolina State in Savannah. <br> <br> The slate for Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference teams has Kentucky State at Fort Valley and Morehouse at Benedict. Albany State has an open date.
