Chad Lunsford took over as interim head coach and earned two wins while bringing more energy to the program.

He was named the full-time coach, reinstated the option and watched the rejuvenated Eagles roll to a 10-3 record.

The team closed the year on a sweet note when kicker Tyler Bass hit a 40-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Georgia Southern to a dramatic 23-21 victory over Eastern Michigan in the Camellia Bowl.
