College Football Preview: Sporting News gives us our 1st preview


Thanks to my man Panama for the find:

In their inaugural year of college football, the Panthers will run the gamut of opponents, beginning against tiny Shorter College of the NAIA and ending their campaign with mammoth Alabama, the 2009 FBS national champions. The team will also play Old Dominion, which GSU will join as a member of the Colonial Athletic Association in 2012. Bill Curry, the former head coach at Georgia Tech (1980-86), Alabama (1987-89) and Kentucky (1990-96) before becoming an ESPN analyst (1997-2007) will lead the fledgling program as its first coach.

Curry says 5-11, 175-pound running back Travis Evans is perhaps his best offensive threat. The redshirt freshman rushed for 1662 yards and 17 touchdowns on 166 carries as a senior at Williston High in Florida. Anchoring the offensive line are freshman guard Michael Davis (6-3, 315 pounds) and junior center Ben Jacoby (6-2, 275) a transfer from Ball State. Sophomore linebacker Brad Chahoy (5-11, 202) a Georgia Southern transfer, is the player to watch on defense.
