WHAT HEAD COACH BRIAN DUNLEAVY SAID
"It was always going to be a monumental task playing away against one of the best teams in the country, when they've had a full week off and we've had to travel and play a game. I have so much respect for Graham and South Alabama, they were playing on another level today and have been all season. We've played some good teams, even nationally ranked opponents, but they were the best team we have seen by a long shot. We've got to dust ourselves off and move forward. There are 24 points available from the next 8 games, it's on us now to go get them 3 points at a time."

NEXT UP
The Eagles return home for a four-game home stretch beginning next Friday. GS will continue Sun Belt play when they face off against UL Lafayette at 7 p.m. on Friday night and Texas State on Sunday at 1 p.m.
