GEORGIA SOUTHERN EAGLES surge to three wins in four games behind OJ ARNOLD's explosive 267-yard rushing performance in a 45-40 shootout against COASTAL CAROLINA. Can the Eagles finish 7-5 after their disastrous 2-4 start?

DAVE SCHULTZ breaks down Week 12 Sun Belt Conference action, analyzing GEORGIA SOUTHERN's remarkable turnaround under CLAY HELTON, SOUTH ALABAMA JAGUARS' comeback victory over ULM featuring BISHOP DAVENPORT's performance, and MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD's win against GEORGIA STATE.

The discussion covers critical bowl eligibility mathematics for multiple Sun Belt teams, TONY GIBSON's impressive first-year coaching at MARSHALL, and the controversial College Football Playoff rankings debate between JAMES MADISON DUKES, NORTH TEXAS MEAN GREEN, and TULANE GREEN WAVE.

Key topics include coaching performance in the NIL and transfer portal era, strength of schedule analysis using SP+ rankings and ESPN's FPI, and whether CHARLES HUFF deserves Sun Belt Coach of the Year honors at SOUTHERN MISS.

Tune in for comprehensive Sun Belt football analysis and playoff implications that extend beyond the Power Four conferences.
