McKINNEY'S TAKE ON GEORGIA SOUTHERN
"This will be my first time going against Georgia Southern. We've got four Sun Belt opponents in GSU, Georgia State, Troy and South Alabama in our out of conference schedule. They are going to be challenging games.
"It's always tough to go on the road early on too. That presents a different routine for the kids. First road trip, first overnight trip. In a hotel, having to get up and get yourself mentally prepared for the next day is sometimes not an easy thing to do."
