Halftime Report
A win for Georgia Southern would push their record over .500, and after one quarter of play they've put themselves in a good position to make it happen. They have a bit of a cushion as they currently lead N. Illinois 40-24.
If Georgia Southern keeps playing like this they'll be starting off their season with a 'W'. On the other hand, N. Illinois will be starting their season off on the wrong foot unless they turn things around (and fast).
