Favian Upshaw | Georgia Southern

Georgia Southern will most like employ a two quarterback system. Both Favian Upshaw and Kevin Ellison will play during each game. But for my money the best of the two is Upshaw. Neither should be a real passing threat to the Rebels. Just like Wofford, they have a run heavy offense.

Upshaw showed his prowess against Bowling Green as he rushed for nearly 200 yards. Georgia Southern is bringing back the majority of their offense so there should be cohesion there. But without Upshaw being much of a passing concern they should be easily disposed of. Although, Ole Miss does need to make an effort to keep him under control.
