THE LAST TIME GEORGIA SOUTHERN...
In the 2009 season opener versus Albany, sophomore cornerback Laron Scott had a pick six in his first game as an Eagle.
..BLOCKED A PUNT AND SCORED A TOUCHDOWN occurred on
October 4, 2008 at Chattanooga. Roderick Tinsley blocked a punt by
Mike Hammons. David Arnold scooped up the loose ball on the Mocs
26 and raced into the endzone for his first collegiate touchdown...
The Eagles went on to win the game 52-28 - a span of 17 games...
...RETURNED A FUMBLE FOR A TOUCHDOWN was on October
24, 2009 at 8th-ranked Appalachian State. Sophomore Derek Heyden
picked up a loose ball on the ASU 38-yard line and scored his first
collegiate touchdown. However, the Eagles would eventually lose at
Kidd Brewer Stadium on Black Saturday 52-16 - a span of 4 games...
...RETURNED A KICKOFF FOR A TOUCHDOWN was against Elon
at Paulson Stadium on September 20, 2008. Samair Baker took the
kickoff on his own four, eluded a couple of tackles, received a downfield
block on the kicker and was off. The Eagles eventually lost on a last
second field goal to the 17th-ranked Phoenix 22-20. The previous time
came 47 games prior and Baker was the ninth Eagle to accomplish
the feat - a span of 19 games...
...RECOVERED A FUMBLE IN THE ENDZONE FOR A TOUCHDOWN
was when tackle James McCoy fell on a J.R. Revere fumble in the
Montana endzone during the Eagles’ opening drive against the Grizzlies in the 2000 NCAA Division I-FCS National Championship Game
at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga, Tenn., on December 16. The score
gave Georgia Southern an early 7-0 lead before an eventual 27-25
victory - a span of 108 games...
...RETURNED A PUNT FOR A TOUCHDOWN occurred on October
18, 2008 at Paulson Stadium versus second-ranked Appalachian State.
Raja Andrews fielded a Neil Young punt on his own 16 and raced 84
yards for a touchdown. It was the second consecutive game the Eagles
recorded a punt return for a TD, and also tied a team season record.
Andrews also tied a career record with his second punt return for a TD.
The Eagles lost the game 37-36 - a span of 16 games...
...SCORED A SAFETY was on October 10, 2009 at North Carolina
(Kenan Stadium). In the fourth quarter immediately following a punt
which put the Tar Heels on the one, Markeith Wylie stopped A.J. Blue
in the endzone for a safety. Georgia Southern kept the BCS Tar Heels
scoreless in the second half but still lost the game 42-12 - a span of
6 games...
...RETURNED AN INTERCEPTION FOR A TOUCHDOWN occurred
on September 5, 2009 against Albany at Paulson Stadium. Sophomore
Laron Scott, making his Eagle debut, intercepted Vinny Esposito on
the Great Danes’ 15 yard line and raced in for the score. It was the
first INT returned for a score by an Eagle in Paulson since 2005. The
Eagles went on to win the game 29-26 - a span of 11 games...
...SHUT OUT AN OPPONENT was against Savannah State during the
2003 season opener September 6 at Paulson Stadium. The Eagles’
35-0 blanking was the first for Georgia Southern in a season opener
since 1999 (76-0 vs. Fayetteville State on September 4) - a span of
79 games...
21
in a 38-35 win. Foster gained a personal-high 279 yards on 28 carries
and rushed for three TDs, the third best rushing performance in Eagle
history. Foster improved on his GSU record for most rushing yards by
a quarterback done earlier that season. It marked his fourth 200-yard
rushing game that year - a span of 25 games...
...HAD A RUNNING BACK GAIN MORE THAN 300 YARDS IN A
GAME was on December 4, 1999 against Massachusetts at Paulson
Stadium. Adrian Peterson rushed for a GSU-record 333 yards on 32
attempts and established at the time a new GSU standard with 32 points
(five touchdowns, one two-point conversion). He helped the Eagles to
a team total of 470 rushing yards on the way to a 38-21 quarterfinal
victory over the Minutemen - a span of 124 games...
...SCORED A DEFENSIVE PAT was on September 5, 2009 in the
season-opener against Albany (N.Y.) at Paulson Stadium. Late in the
second quarter Brent Russell broke through the line and blocked the
extra point attempt. Darrell Pasco scooped up the loose ball and raced
into the endzone for two points and a critical swing as the Eagles would
go on to win 29-26 for the 150th win at Paulson - a span of 11 games...
En route to winning the 2007 Walter Payton Award, Jayson Foster helped
the Eagles to games with 300, 400 and 500 rushing yards, including an
individual effort with 253 yards and six touchdowns in the 42-34 win over
Coastal Carolina.
...RUSHED FOR MORE THAN 300 YARDS was on November 17,
2007 in a 42-34 loss at Colorado State. The Eagles outscored the Rams
31-14 in the second half, posting 244 of their 349 total rushing yards in
the final 30 minutes of play. The comeback fell short, but quarterback
Jayson Foster rushed for 195 yards (with 131 yards and all of his 3
TDs in the second half) while Lamar Lewis contributed 115 yards and
a TD in the effort - a span of 32 games...
...RUSHED FOR MORE THAN 400 YARDS was on November 3, 2007
at 10th-ranked Wofford when Georgia Southern held off the Terriers’
second-half surge and kicked a FG mid-fourth quarter to win 38-35.
Jayson Foster rushed for a career-best 279 yards (ranks third on the
all-time single-game rushing chart) and set the Georgia Southern
record for rushing yards by a quarterback in a single game - a span
of 32 games...
...RUSHED FOR MORE THAN 500 YARDS was on September 15,
2007 at Coastal Carolina during a 42-34 win. The Eagles rushed for 512
yards, the 12th-best performance in GS history. Jayson Foster rushed

Georgia Southern 27, Jackson State 0
Nov. 30, Allen E. Paulson Stadium, Statesboro
-First Round Tracy Ham and Tony Belser connected on two long touchdown passes to
lead Georgia Southern to a 27-0 win over Jackson State. Ham hit Belser on
a 48-yard pass early in the first quarter and a 45-yarder early in the fourth
quarter to seal the victory. The defense recorded its second shutout of
1985.
The Eagles held Jackson State to just 105 yards on the ground and
forced five turnovers on the afternoon, including four interceptions of Tiger
quarterback Shannon Boyd. Sophomore cornerback Nay Young recorded
two of those pickoffs and three pass breakups. His 43-yard return to the
JSU 26-yard line on the first theft set up fullback Gerald Harris’ one-yard
plunge to make the score 17-0.
Georgia Southern 28, Middle Tennessee State 21
Dec. 7, Johnny Floyd Stadium, Murfreesboro, Tenn.
-Quarterfinals Georgia Southern scored 21 unanswered points and then held off a
Middle Tennessee rally to upset the nation’s No. 1-ranked team. Gerald
Harris rushed for 148 yards and Tracy Ham passed for 125 yards to lead the
Eagles. Defensively, Nay Young had two key interceptions to stop the Blue
Raiders. The win avenged a 35-10 loss to MTSU earlier in the season.
Young’s second interception of the game and fourth of the playoffs
stopped the Blue Raiders deep in Georgia Southern territory late in the
contest. Earlier, Young stopped an MTSU drive at the Eagle 14-yard line
with 10 seconds remaining in the first half to preserve a 21-0 GSU lead at
intermission.
Georgia Southern 40, Northern Iowa 33
Dec. 14, UNI Dome, Cedar Falls, Iowa

one of Georgia Southern’s wildest games ever.
The Eagles rolled up 436 yards on the ground, averaging nearly nine
yards per carry. Junior safety Brad Bowen picked off two Panther passes and broke up another, while recording nine tackles. Senior linebacker
Charles Carper added 12 tackles.

“Everything has just
come so far so fast…Its
hard to explain how I feel.
I’m still in a

shock.”
- Erk Russell, Former Eagle Head Coach on
winning the 1986 Championship
“I understand this is the
first time anybody has
it back to back.
When you consider our
won
history, it shouldn’t
have happened. It was
hard to believe last year
and it’s still hard to
believe.”

record five touchdowns as Georgia Southern whipped North Carolina A&T,
52-21. Harris scored on runs of 17, seven and nine yards in the first half. A

the record setting afternoon. The Eagles built a 31-0 halftime lead and
expanded that to 38-0 before the Aggies scored midway through the third
quarter.
The Eagle defense, led by Everette Sharpe’s 11 tackles, limited the Aggies to 297 yards in total offense. It also forced three turnovers, including a
pair of first half fumbles that resulted in 14 Eagle points.

STATESBORO, Ga. - Junior Mike Dowis booted a 20-yard field goal with
1:41 remaining to cap Georgia Southern’s 15-0 season, the first by a college team in modern football history. The Eagles, before a record crowd

Georgia Southern 52, Villanova 36
Nov.25, Allen E. Paulson Stadium, Statesboro
-First Round Junior fullback Joe Ross of Augusta rushed for 190 yards as the Eagles
defeated Villanova 52-36 in first round action at Paulson Stadium.
Ross scored on runs of 11 and 39 yards in the second half as Southern
pulled away from the Yankee Conference co-champions - after typically
trailing at intermission. Wildcat quarterback Kirk Schulz passed for 232
yards and two TDs the first 30 minutes as his team built a 21-13 lead.
Then came quarter No. 3 and the Eagles ripped off 25 unanswered points.
Georgia Southern scored on its first four possessions to grab a 38-21 advantage with 5:00 remaining. The barrage was capped by Raymond Gross’
nifty swing pass to Darryl Hopkins, who went 64 yards. Southern added 14
points in the fourth quarter. Its final score came on Rodney Oglesby’s 32yard interception return, marking the third time in three weeks that an Eagle
defensive back had returned a pass theft to paydirt.
Georgia Southern 45, Middle Tennessee State 3
-Quarterfinals Junior quarterback Raymond Gross passed for two touchdowns and ran
for another and senior linebacker Bart Hughes scored on a 20-yard blocked
punt return as Georgia Southern socked Middle Tennessee State 45-3 at
Paulson Stadium. The victory was Southern’s 35th straight at home, a national I-AA record.
Second team fullback Lester Efford gained a career best 123 yards on 21
carries. He replaced starter Joe Ross late in the first quarter. Ross picked
up 34 yards on 10 attempts before a right knee injury forced him to the
sidelines.
Chuck McClurg’s block of a Chuck Daniel punt and Hughes’ subsequent
ramble to the endzone put Southern ahead to stay with 7:56 left in the first
quarter.
Georgia Southern 45, Montana 15
-Semifinals Junior quarterback Raymond Gross completed seven of 10 passes for a
career high 180 yards and two touchdowns and slotbacks Ernest Thompson, Karl Miller and Darryl Hopkins rushed for one score each as Georgia
Southern blitzed Montana 45-15 in I-AA semifinal action at Paulson Stadium.
For the second straight week, Southern struck for a season high 31 first
half points.

GSU: Champions Again
Eagles Claim Fourth I-AA Title
(December 15, 1990)
STATESBORO, Ga. - Quarterback Raymond Gross rushed for a gamehigh 145 yards and the Georgia Southern defense rose to the occasion with
a crucial goal line stand early in the third quarter as the Eagles captured
their fourth national championship in six years. Trailing 14-6 to open the
second half, Nevada drove 74 yards in 14 plays to the Eagle 1-yard line.
The Wolfpack was stuffed on four consecutive plays before Kevin McKelvie
missed a 24-yard field goal. GSU answered with a pair of Darryl Hopkins
touchdown runs to take a comfortable 27-6 lead midway through the final period. After Hopkins’ contributions, the Eagles added a 41-yard Mike
Dowis field goal and closed the contest when true freshman defensive end
Alex Mash returned a Chris Vargas pass 15 yards for a touchdown.

Georgia Southern 31, The Citadel 0
-First Round The Eagles limited The Citadel to eight second half yards in a 31-0 first
round rout of the Bulldogs. As The Citadel’s potent wishbone attack came
to a screeching halt, GSU broke open a 10-0 halftime advantage with a 35
yard scoring pass from Raymond Gross to Terence Sorrell and TD runs by
Karl Miller and Lester Efford. Gross completed 10-of-13 passes for 173
yards. Joe Ross led all rushers with 84 yards on 23 carries and scored
Southern’s first TD.
After the Gross to Sorrel pass capped Southern’s initial series of the
second half, Kevin Whitley intercepted a Jack Douglas pass at the GSU 48.
Miller highlighted a 52-yard, 8-play drive with a 20-yard scoring run. Efford’s
seven yard effort topped an eight play, 72-yard scoring drive.
Georgia Southern 28, Idaho 27
-Quarterfinals Middle linebacker Eugene Hayes’ recovery of a fumble at the Eagle 23
yard line with 2:27 remaining halted a possible game winning Idaho drive
and Georgia Southern escaped with a 28-27 quarterfinal win over the Vandals.
After the Eagles took a seemingly commanding 21-7 lead with 53 seconds left in the first half on a 3-yard TD run by Raymond Gross, Idaho countered with 17 unanswered points for a 24-21 advantage. Gross connected
with Karl Miller from nine yards out late in the third quarter for what proved
to be the deciding points.
GSU surrendered a season high 528 yards total offense. Vandal quarterback Steve Nolan riddled the Eagle defense with 372 yards on a thenstadium record 32 completions (43 attempts), while Roman Carter led all
rushers with 124 yards on 23 carries. Idaho passed the Eagle 30-yard line
on three of its first four possessions but came away empty.
Georgia Southern 44, Central Florida 7
-Semifinals A swarming defense slammed the door on Central Florida in the second
half while the offense ripped off 35 unanswered points as GSU coasted in
the semifinals.
The Knights took an overdose of Southern’s defensive front, whose pressure forced 10 sacks. UCF also saw enough of quarterback Raymond
Gross, who threw for two touchdowns in the decisive second half.
Georgia Southern limited Central Florida to 81 yards total offense in the
second half. The Knights generated just six rushing yards and 75 passing
yards in the game’s final 30 minutes. Joe Ross led all rushers with 72 yards
while Karl Miller covered a career high 111 yards on five catches.

Mission Accomplished
Eagles Capture Unprecedented Fifth National Title
(December 18, 1999)
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Georgia Southern waited a year to redeem itself in the Division I-AA championship. Once the game started, the Eagles
ended the suspense by halftime.
Adrian Peterson rushed for a championship game-record 247 yards on
25 carries and scored three touchdowns as Georgia Southern scored 28
unanswered points in the second quarter and routed Youngstown State 5924 becoming the first team to win five I-AA titles. The Walter Payton Award
winner scored on runs of 3, 22 and 1 yards. Youngstown State, which came
in with a defense that had been giving up just 166 yards rushing per game,
couldn’t contain I-AA’s best rushing offense. The Eagles got 210 of their
record-638 yards rushing in the second quarter and finished with 655 yards
of offense compared to 338 for Youngstown State.
The Penguins kept pace with Georgia Southern by scoring on their first
two drives. Then Peterson got Georgia Southern going - putting the Eagles
ahead to stay at 14-10 with 10:25 left in the second quarter on his first TD
of the game.
It was a showdown between I-AA’s two best teams. Youngstown State
had won more games (100) than any other I-AA program this decade and
Georgia Southern came in with more playoff victories than any other I-AA
program. The two programs also came in with four I-AA championships
each.

Georgia Southern 72, Northern Arizona 29
-First Round Greg Hill ran for four touchdowns and threw for two more as second
seeded Georgia Southern routed 15th-seeded Northern Arizona 72-29 in
the opening round of the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs. The senior quarterback had 206 yards rushing and scored on runs of five, 10, 32 and 73 yards.
He was 4-of-6 passing for 100 yards and connected with Dedric Parham on
a 13 yard score and Andre Weathers on a 73-yard bomb.
After a 7-7 deadlock at the end of the opening quarter, the Eagles exploded for 23 unanswered points to take a 30-14 halftime lead. Southern
outscored the Lumberjacks 42-15 in the final half, including a 21-0 run in the
third quarter, for the win.
GSU fullback Adrian Peterson rushed for 134 yards and scored on a one
yard plunge. Georgia Southern set a then-new I-AA playoff record with 568
rushing yards and a school record with the most points in a post season
game ever.
Georgia Southern 38, Massachusetts 21
-Quarterfinals Adrian Peterson rushed for 333 yards on 32 carries and scored five
touchdowns as second seeded Georgia Southern downed Massachusetts
38-21 in the NCAA Division I-AA quarterfinals.
The sophomore fullback’s performance set a new NCAA Division I-AA
playoff rushing record, shattering the previous mark of 250 yards by Northeast Louisiana’s Greg Robinson in 1992. Peterson, who battled a severe
chest cold all afternoon, had three 25-yard touchdown runs as well as a
three-yarder and a nine-yarder.
Georgia Southern (10-2) took a slim 10-7 lead at halftime but outscored
the Minutemen (9-4) 21-14 in the second half to secure the victory and successfully avenge a 55-43 loss to UMass in the 1998 National Championship
game. The Eagles, who surrendered 303 rushing yards to the Minutemen
in ‘98, allowed just 81 ground yards on 37 attempts - an average of just 2.2
yards per rush.
Georgia Southern 28, Illinois State 17
-Semifinals Adrian Peterson rushed for 183 yards and scored three touchdowns to
lead Georgia Southern to a 28-17 victory over Illinois State in the Division
I-AA semifinals. The win enabled the Eagles to advance to the I-AA National
Championship game for the seventh time in 15 years.
Peterson scored on runs of one and two yards late in the second quarter
to break a 7-7 tie and added a 10-yarder in the fourth to clinch the victory.
The 1999 Walter Payton Award winner also surpassed the 100 yard rushing
mark for the 29th consecutive time.
Georgia Southern held the Redbirds to 69 yards rushing while rolling up
363. Eagle quarterback Greg Hill rushed for 80 yards and one touchdown.
He also was 3-of-7 passing for 76 yards and one interception.

Believed It, Achieved It
Peterson’s Run Halts Grizzly Comeback Hopes
(December 16, 2000)
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Adrian Peterson rushed for 148 yards and Georgia Southern withstood a fourth quarter rally by Montana to win the 2000
NCAA I-AA National Championship 27-25 at Finley Stadium. The national
championship is the second straight for Georgia Southern and its sixth in
school history. With a 20-3 lead midway through the third quarter, Georgia Southern’s national championship hopes appeared solid. But Montana
scored on three consecutive possessions to take a 23-20 lead. The Eagles
answered on their first play from scrimmage when Peterson broke-off tackle
for 57 yards and a touchdown to put GSU back in front, 27-23. Ryan Hadden ended one Montana drive in the fourth quarter with an interception
while two other drives ended in loss of downs. In addition to Peterson’s
rushing efforts, quarterback J.R. Revere completed five of eight passes for
113 yards. Georgia Southern built its 20-3 lead on a fumble recovery in the
end zone by James McCoy that gave the Eagles a 7-0 lead just 1:41 into
the game. Revere then hit Chris Johnson with a 49-yard scoring pass late
in the first quarter for a 13-0 advantage. After a Montana field goal cut the
lead to 13-3, Peterson scored the first of his two touchdowns on a one yard
run just 33 seconds before halftime.

After trailing 17-14 at the half, Revere engineered a 12-play, 75 yard
drive which gave the Eagles a 21-17 lead at the 9:57 mark. Weathers took
an option pitch for a 23-yard score five plays after he had converted a crucial fourth-down-and-four situation at the Eagle 43-yard line to keep the
drive alive.
Georgia Southern 48, Hofstra 20

freshman quarterback Raymond Gross. Gross rushed for 173 yards,
133 of them in the second half. Fellow freshman Joe Ross rushed for
86 yards, including a 12-yard scamper with 7:54 remaining in regulation time to tie the score at 28. Foley missed a 37-yarder at the end of
regulation.

Stephen F. Austin.
Quarterback Raymond Gross cut and weaved his way to 161 yards
on a stadium record 32 carries.

season. The Eagles were led once again by quarterback Raymond
Gross, who rushed for 152 yards and a TD.
Down 17-14 in the third quarter, slotback Frank Johnson scored from
six yards out to give the Eagles a shot at their third NCAA I-AA national championship. In addition to Alford’s late heroics, safety Randell

56
Furman 17, Georgia Southern 12
Dec. 17, Holt Minidome, Pocatello, Idaho
The Furman defense limited Georgia Southern to its lowest output of the
season with 198 total yards and the Paladins were crowned NCAA I-AA
national champions.
Two David Cool field goals (55 and 48 yards) and a blocked punt return
for a score by freshman Mark Giles accounted for all Eagle scoring.
Fullback Joe Ross led Georgia Southern ground gainers with 58 yards
on 15 carries, while the passing game was held to just 64 yards on five
completions. The Eagles had a golden opportunity to pull ahead with the
winning touchdown in the fourth quarter when Gross drove Southern to the
Furman 11 yard line with less than six minutes remaining. On a first down
play, Gross had the ball knocked away on a keeper at the five yard line.
1993 - National Quarterfinalist
Linebacker Nick Davis, safety Rob Stockton and cornerback Brandon Rozzelle - among others - stepped up to make the plays when
needed as top seeded Georgia Southern outlasted Eastern Kentucky
14-12.
Davis and Stockton stopped Mike Penman’s conversion try for the
tying points after EKU pulled to within two on Leon Brown’s 27 yard run
with 2:51 to play. The Colonels failed to recover an onside kick, but
created a final opportunity by forcing GSU to punt. Three plays later,
Rozzelle intercepted Greg Couch at the EKU 37 to ensure Southern’s
perfect playoff record at Paulson Stadium (16-0).
The Colonels missed four scoring chances and outgained Southern
407-273, including 323 on the ground. Brown and Penman rushed for
161 and 106 yards, respectively. However, the Colonels were able to
convert only two of 12 third down plays.
Youngstown State 34, Georgia Southern 14
Dec. 4, Stambaugh Stadium, Youngstown, Ohio
Youngstown State erupted for 27 unanswered first half points, while
limiting Georgia Southern to just 29 yards total offense before intermission as the Penguins cruised to victory in the quarterfinals of the I-AA
playoffs. Youngstown State’s offensive output included 21 points that
were the direct result of turnovers, highlighted by an Andre Mason recovery of a bad punt snap that lifted the Penguins to a 10-0 lead late in
the first quarter.
Youngstown stretched the margin to 27-0 on a Mark Brungard scoring strike to John Quintana with 49 seconds remaining in the second
quarter.
The Eagles broke into the scoring column on their first possession of
the second half. Quarterback Charles Bostick plunged two yards into
the endzone at the 7:13 mark of the period. But Youngstown immediately answered, regaining a 27-point cushion.
Georgia Southern 24, Troy State 21
Nov. 25, Memorial Stadium, Troy, Ala.
Senior strong safety Rob Stockton intercepted a Jeremy Rowell pass
in the endzone with 10 seconds remaining to preserve the Eagles’ 2421 victory at third seeded Troy State. The theft by Stockton came 90
seconds after Eric Meng drilled a game winning 18-yard field goal.
Meng had missed attempts of 26 and 42 yards earlier in the period.
The successful boot was set up by a 27-yard option pass play on third
and nine from the TSU 35. The completion from slotback Dexter Dawson to split end Maurice Bing was GSU’s only completion of the afternoon.
Marlow Warthen paced the Eagles’ ground attack with a season high
89 yards on seven carries, while Roderick Russell added 73.
Montana 45, Georgia Southern 0
Dec. 2, Washington Grizzly Stadium, Missoula, Mont.
Montana rolled up 629 yards of total offense - the most ever allowed
by Georgia Southern - as the Grizzlies eliminated the Eagles from the
Division I-AA playoffs by a 45-0 score.
Starting quarterback Dave Dickenson, who later in the season would
be named the Payton Award winner, completed 37-of-46 attempts for
408 yards and four scores. Brian Gales led all rushers with 97 yards
and one touchdown on 10 carries.
Sloppy field conditions and an outstanding Grizzly defense kept
Southern at bay all afternoon. The Eagles managed just 91 yards of total offense (70 via the rush) and just 23:59 of possession time. Roderick
Russell led the attack with 70 yards on 16 rushes.
Georgia Southern 52, Florida A&M 37
During a record-setting day for both offenses, Georgia Southern
sophomore quarterback Greg Hill had a career-high 238 yards rushing, just 12 shy of the I-AA playoff game standard. He set a Southern
Conference playoff record for rushing yards and tied the mark for rushing touchdowns with four in leading the Eagles to a wild 52-37 win over
Florida A&M in the opening round of the I-AA playoffs.
Rallying from a 35-7 deficit at the end of the first quarter, FAMU cut
Georgia Southern’s lead to eight midway through the fourth quarter
with a furious air attack. Rattler quarterback Otteman Sampson completed 37-of-63 passes for 469 yards -- all Paulson Stadium records.
The Eagles set new Southern Conference playoff marks for rushing touchdowns (six) and net rushing yards (416). In addition to Hill’s
yardage, senior fullback Roderick Russell added 131 yards and two
touchdowns in GSU’s potent option attack.
After gaining 322 yards of total offense in building a 42-21 first half
lead, the Eagles managed only a 37-yard field goal by Eric Meng in the
third quarter while FAMU countered with an 87-yard, 10- play touchdown drive to make it 45-28 and begin its comeback hopes.
GSU’s 35-point first-quarter and its 42-point halftime performance
were also new school standards.
Delaware 16, Georgia Southern 7
Dec. 6, Delaware Stadium, Newark, Del.
Delaware’s defense stopped the Eagles twice inside the Blue Hen
five-yard line in the second half and preserved a 16-7 NCAA Division
I-AA quarterfinal win against Georgia Southern on a windy, 39-degree
December afternoon in Newark.
The Eagles drove down to the UD two-yard line midway through the
third quarter and again with 1:06 left to play but the Blue Hen defense
stiffened on a pair of fourth-down plays. A Roderick Russell 12-yard
scoring run trimmed the lead to 9-7 with 11:58 remaining but Delaware
used a 10-yard TD sprint by Craig Cummings with 4:40 showing for the
final margin.
Russell led all ground gainers with 97 yards on 21 carries while the
explosive Greg Hill was held in check for just 35 yards on 16 attempts.
The speedy two-hour and 15-minute contest also produced an Eagle
first -- no penalty flags.
1998 - National Runner Up
Georgia Southern 49, Colgate 28
Both Georgia Southern fullback Adrian Peterson and quarterback Greg
Hill scored three times and rushed for over 100 yards each as the top seeded Eagles used a strong second half surge to outdistance 16th seed Colgate 49-28 in the first round of the NCAA Division I AA playoffs.
The top ranked Eagles outscored the Red Raiders 28-7 in the second
half after a 21-21 deadlock at halftime. Georgia Southern had 457 yards
rushing as Peterson rambled for 178 yards while Hill had 149 on the ground
and was 5-of-10 for 93 yards through the air. Colgate had 241 yards rushing
and 187 passing.
Southern wasted no time in pulling out to a 42-21 lead by the end of the
third quarter.
The Eagles took the second half kickoff and marched 70 yards on five
plays with Hill capping the drive with a 13-yard jaunt. On the drive, Peterson
went over the 100 yard mark for the 12th consecutive game. After holding
Colgate to three plays and out deep in its own territory, Peterson gained 37
yards in three plays, his last being a four yard score.
Georgia Southern 52, Connecticut 30
Georgia Southern’s triple threat trio of quarterback Greg Hill, fullback
Adrian Peterson and slotback Bennie Cunningham combined for 458
yards rushing and score seven touchdowns as the undefeated Eagles
whipped eighth ranked Connecticut 52-30 in the Division I-AA quarterfinals.
Peterson rushed for 232 yards and scored four times. Hill had 105
yards and two scores on the ground and was 5-of-8 for 81 yards in the
air. Cunningham added 121 yards and one score as GSU tallied 530
yards on the ground to set a new NCAA I-AA playoff rushing record.
Peterson, who produced his sixth 200-yard game of the season, also
set a new Southern Conference season scoring record with 198 points
and 33 touchdowns.
Connecticut quarterback Shane Stafford, who was 20-of-45 for 313
yards and two scores, hit Wendell McDuffie from two yards out to give
Connecticut a 24-21 lead at the 3:30 mark of the second quarter. Georgia Southern exploded in the final 30 minutes, using 332 yards to score
30 second half points while holding the Huskies to just six.
57
Georgia Southern 42, Western Illinois 14
Quarterback Greg Hill equaled a school-record with four touchdown passes to lift Georgia Southern to a 42-14 NCAA I-AA semifinal
win over Western Illinois
Hill, who totaled 160 yards through the air, found slotback Corey
Joyner three times for scores - including a 51-yard, 11-yard and 32yard TD catches. During the victory, GSU racked up 396 yards and 42
points against the top-ranked defensive unit in I-AA.
The Eagles scored quickly on their first two possessions of the first
and second half to build a 35-8 lead in the third quarter. Fullback Adrian Peterson recorded his 14th consecutive 100-yard rushing contest
(103) while Hill picked up an additional 68 ground yards.
GSU’s defense limited the Leathernecks to just one score in seven
trips past midfield. Despite surrendering 175 rushing yards to AllAmerica running back Aaron Stecker, the Eagles held the WIU passing game to just 154 yards. A pair of big plays produced both Western
Illinois TDs, as quarterback Mark Zanders connected on 20 and 83yard scoring passes.
Massachusetts 55, Georgia Southern 43
Dec. 19, Finley Stadium, Chattanooga, Tenn.
Tailback Marcel Shipp rushed for a NCAA Division I-AA National
Championship Game-record 244 yards while the opportunistic Minutemen took advantage of seven Eagle turnovers as Massachusetts
upset and outscored top-ranked Georgia Southern 55-43 to earn its
first national football crown.
UMass parlayed a school-record six GSU lost fumbles and one interception into 31 points, and more importantly, kept the high-scoring
Eagle offense off the field. Georgia Southern struggled from the start,
suffering turnovers on five of its first six and six of its first seven possessions which enabled the Minutemen to build a 21-7 first quarter
and a 38-21 halftime lead.
GSU cut the margin to five, 38-33 with 41 seconds remaining in
the third quarter on a Greg Hill two-yard run, but Shipp took over on
UMass’ next possession by personally rushing for 67 yards on a 72yard scoring drive which allowed the Minutemen to regain a doubledigit lead. Shipp’s 244 yards were the most ever recorded against
Georgia Southern by an individual Eagle opponent since the start of
the program in 1982.
Hill performed valiantly in defeat, running for a team-high 228 yards
and two touchdowns while completing 8-of-16 passes for 111 yards
and another score. Freshman fullback Adrian Peterson added 161
yards and a pair of scores.
The Eagles, however, scored on seven of nine possessions in
which they did not suffer a turnover. Massachusetts tallied just 24
(three touchdowns, one field goal) of its 55 points off traditional, nonturnover-aided, drives.
2001 - National Semifinalist
Adrian Peterson rushed for 109 of his game-high 153 yards in the
second half as Georgia Southern fought back from a 21-7 first quarter
deficit to record a wild 60-35 victory over Florida A&M in the first round
of the NCAA I-AA playoffs.
The Eagles also trailed 28-24 late in the second quarter before ripping off 36 unanswered points to take a 60-28 lead midway through
the fourth quarter. In addition to four offensive TDs and four field goals,
GSU also got a pair of scores from its defensive unit and one on special teams.
The Eagles forced a season-best six turnovers and racked up 545
total yards, including a season-high 161 passing from J.R. Revere.
Georgia Southern 38, Appalachian State 24
Anthony Williams sparked a run of 21 straight points with a 58-yard
punt return late in the second quarter while the Eagle defense shut
down the Mountaineer rushing attack as Georgia Southern posted a
38-24 quarterfinal win over Appalachian State. Adrian Peterson added 115 ground yards to help GSU rack up 427 total offense yards.
The Eagles cashed in their first two possessions after halftime and
held ASU to just three rushing yards in the final 30 minutes to help
break open a 10-3 intermission lead.
The Mountaineers scored 21 of their 24 points in the fourth quarter,
with two of those touchdowns coming on fumble recoveries.
Sparked by two fumble recoveries early in the third quarter, Furman
ran off 17 unanswered second half points to erase a 17-7 halftime
deficit and record a 24-17 upset victory over Georgia Southern in the
semifinals of the I-AA playoffs.
The loss served as GSU’s first-ever in post-season play at Paulson
Stadium and snapped an NCAA I-AA-record 39-game winning streak
at the facility.
Eric Emerson’s one-yard scoring run with 8:24 left in the fourth quarter served as the game winner.
The Paladins cashed in a GSU fumble on a kickoff return to open the
second half and a fumble on the Eagles’ first third quarter play.
Furman held the Georgia Southern rushing attack to just 184 yards
while generating 345 total yards on its own, including 159 air yards on
a perfect 12-of-12 passing performance.
Adrian Peterson was held to a career-low 68 yards on 18 carries
during his final collegiate contest.
2002 - National Semifinalist
Georgia Southern 34, Bethune-Cookman 0
Quarterback Chaz Williams rushed for a game-high 113 yards and
three touchdowns while fulback Jermaine Austin added 104 yards and
a score to lead Georgia Southern to a 34-0 victory over Bethune-Cookman in the opening round of the I-AA playoffs.
Williams, who established a new I-AA single-season quarterback
touchdown record during the contest by scoring his 22nd, 23rd and
24th TD’s of the season, picked up 90 of his ground yards in the opening 30 minutes to help the Eagles build a 27-0 halftime lead. GSU used
the Wildcats’ 43-yard line as its average beginning field position during
a 20-point second quarter explosion.
The Eagles amassed 401 yards of total offense, 380 of those coming on the ground, while holding Bethune-Cookman to just 269 yards
and zero points – the Eagles’ first post-season shutout since 1990.
58
Georgia Southern 31, Maine 7
Jermaine Austin (143) and Chaz Williams (106) combined for 249
rushing yards and three touchdowns to lead Georgia Southern to a
31-7 win over Maine in the quarterfinal round of the playoffs.
The Eagles broke open a 7-7 first quarter deadlock with 24 unanswered points while holding the Black Bears scoreless in the game’s
final 45 minutes. GSU’s defense allowed just 110 yards in the second
half, including just 33 through the air. Offensively, the Eagles amassed
456 yards – 416 of those on the ground, which ranked as the eighthbest rushing performance in Paulson Stadium playoff history.
GSU scored on three of its five second half possessions to extend a
14-7 halftime lead. The Eagles advanced into Maine territory on nine
of its 11 possessions, including all five of its drives in the first half but
could only tally a pair of TDs (two punts, interception and missed field
goal).
GSU forced at least three turnovers for the second consecutive
game while surrendering just one miscue.
Western Kentucky 31, Georgia Southern 28
Hilltopper quarterback Jason Michael capped a 76-yard game-winning drive with a two-yard scoring run with just 46 seconds remaining
to lift Western Kentucky to a 31-28 semifinal round victory.
The win spoiled a heroic comeback by the Eagles, who ran off 21
straight fourth quarter points to erase a 24-7 deficit with only 12 minutes to play.
Chaz Williams recorded career passing bests by completing 9-of-19
aerials for 160 yards and a pair of TDs, which included 47-yard and
20-yard strikes to Zzream Walden and Ant Williams, respectively. Jermaine Austin, who rushed for a game-high 128 yards, gave GSU its
only lead at 28-24 with 4:26 remaining.
WKU followed by converting two fourth down plays during its gamewinning march which was highlighted by Michael’s 31-yard pass to
Casey Rooney to the GSU two-yard line. Scott Shelton’s game-tying
56-yard field goal attempt sailed just wide right.
2005 - First Round
Texas State 50, Georgia Southern 35
Nov. 26, Bobcat Stadium, San Marcos, Texas
Texas State scored 34 unanswered points, rallying for a 50-35 win
over Georgia Southern in the first round of the NCAA I-AA playoffs.
It marked the second straight defeat for the Eagles in the NCAA first
round.
Georgia Southern led 35-16 when Jayson Foster scored on a 36yard TD run with 4:20 left in the third quarter. But it was all Texas State
from there. Barrick Nealy threw three TD passes then TSU scored two
rushing TDs. The Eagles could not respond on their final five drives,
failing to get a first down in the fourth quarter.
After Nealy scored from a yard out on the opening drive, the Eagles
came right back. Foster hit Teddy Craft on fourth down, a 38-yard TD
pass to tie the game. Jermaine Austin scored from six yards out then
right before the first quarter ended, Foster and Craft connected again.
This time it went for 57 yards, giving the Eagles a 21-7 lead.
The Bobcats managed a 23-yard field goal in the second quarter but
struck in the third when Nealy threw a 31-yard TD pass. On the ensuing drive, Foster broke through for 29 yards and another TD. Seven
minutes later, Foster scored again for the final time.
Austin picked up his 33rd career 100-yard game while Foster hit the
century mark for the ninth time. The fullback, one of 14 seniors, totaled
147 yards on 23 carries. He ended the season with a personal-best
1,546 yards and finished his stellar career recording 5,411 yards, the
sixth-most rushing yards in NCAA I-AA history.
Foster broke his second SoCon record when he moved past Chaz
Williams for most rushing yards by a QB. He added a game-high 151
yards on 21 carries. In fact, Foster jumped up to third place in rushing
yards among NCAA I-AA quarterbacks, finishing with 1,481 yards and
29 TDs accounted for. He also was 3-for-5 passing for a personal-best
135 yards all in the first half.
2004 - First Round
New Hampshire 27, Georgia Southern 23
New Hampshire scored 14 second half points to defeat Georgia
Southern 27-23 in the first round of the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs at
Paulson Stadium Saturday evening.
Trailing 21-13 at the half, R.J. Harvey gave New Hampshire the lead
in the fourth as he capped off a four play, 60-yard scoring drive with
a 52-yard touchdown run to give the Wildcats a 25-21 advantage. A
John McCoy two-point scoring run gave New Hampshire a six-point
lead.
Georgia Southern threatened in the final three minutes, moving to
the New Hampshire 27, but saw three straight passes fall incomplete
as the ball was turned over on downs. New Hampshire opted to take a
safety over punting the ball back to the Eagles to set the final margin.
The Eagles made two lateral pitches off the free kick but Teddy Craft
was tackled as time expired.
In a battle of two players listed on the Walter Payton Award ballot
(Chaz Williams and Ricky Santos) Williams led Georgia Southern with
a game-high 159 yards rushing, his 16th career 100-yard rushing day,
on 33 attempts. Austin also eclipsed the 100-yard mark, the 23rd time
he had accomplished the feat, carrying the ball 23 times for 123 yards.
Georgia Southern out-gained New Hampshire 399 to 325 in total
yards in the game. The Eagles were also hampered by six fumbles on
the day, three of which recovered by New Hampshire. GSU suffered
its first-ever opening round loss in the playoffs.

ERK
RUSSELL
60
On September 8, 2006, legendary coach Erk Russell passed away.
Coach Russell’s death touched not only the Georgia Southern University
and Statesboro communities, but the entire college football nation.
Arguably one of the best known people (even long past his retirement
from coaching) in the state of Georgia, coach Russell was loved and respected by all.
The day before he passed away coach Russell spoke for nearly an hour
to the Eagles, passing along stories and advice on not only football but life.
That was typical of the ‘Father of Georgia Southern Football’.
He touched the lives of many, not only his players but fellow coaches
and members of the community who were on hand during the ceremony
celebrating his life at, where else, but Paulson Stadium.
Erk Russell’s spirit lives on, across the Georgia Southern campus. His
vision of what could be continues to inspire the university today, as do the
morals and ethics he instilled in his players and his positive impact on the
community. His motto of ‘Do Right’ are words that will be ever linked to his
legacy.
Since leading the Eagle football team to its third NCAA Division I-AA national championship and retiring from coaching in December, 1989, Russell
gave all he could to Georgia Southern. Whether assuming chairmanship
of the university’s capital campaign or dousing the baseball team bus with
Eagle Creek Water before its departure for the College World Series, Russell was an active and visible booster of GSU and its programs.
As a coach, Russell saved the best for last. He entered the 1989 season as America’s winningest coach, orchestrator of two national championships, 68 wins and 14 All-America selections - during a seven-year period.
In the ensuing 105 days, Southern ascended to the top spot in the NCAA
I-AA football poll and Russell smoked 15 victory cigars. Erk’s Eagles extended Division I’s longest home win streak from 26 to 37 games. Strong
safety Randell Boone, free safety Taz Dixon and offensive guard Sean
Gainey raised Russell’s All-America count to 17. Georgia Southern gained
distinction as the first 15-0 college team of that century.
Russell’s final record at Georgia Southern is a remarkable 83-22-1 (.788).
After the Eagles moved to Division I-AA in 1984, he fashioned a 70-14
(.825) mark. Russell averaged 10.4 wins per season.
When Georgia Southern brought football back in 1981 it looked to Russell, long-time defensive coordinator at Georgia. Russell’s first Eagle
team, comprised entirely of walk-on players, fashioned a 7-3-1 record in
1982. The next year Southern went 6-5, with four of the losses by five
points or less. In 1984 the Eagles entered Division I-AA and went 8-3,
narrowly missing a national playoff berth. Then came consecutive 13-2
seasons and back-to-back national championships, a I-AA first. With true
freshman Raymond Gross at quarterback, the Eagles advanced to the national quarterfinals in 1987 before finishing 9-4. In 1988, Southern made
its third championship game appearance in four seasons, falling to Furman
17-12 in Pocatello, Idaho.
Russell, who developed a reputation as one of college football’s great
defensive coordinators at Georgia, put together an extraordinary offense
for the Eagles. His 1986 squad led the nation in scoring (41.3 points per
game), total offense (501.8 yards per game), and rushing offense (327.1).
Georgia Southern was unstoppable in the playoffs during the 1986 season, averaging 50.7 points. His last Eagle team won the national rushing championship (329.2 yards per game). Southern was among the top
five teams nationally in both scoring (12.1 points) and total defense (255.9
yards) while allowing only 133 points, a school-record, and holding two opponents scoreless.
During his 17 years at Georgia, Russell molded some of the country’s
finest defensive teams and his Junkyard Dogs became synonymous with
Bulldog football. In 1967 Georgia led the Southeastern Conference in total
defense and scoring defense. The next year Georgia topped the SEC in
total defense and led the nation in scoring defense, yielding just 9.8 points
per contest. In 1971, Russell’s group paced the country in shutouts and
finished among the nation’s Top 10 in rushing defense, total defense and
scoring defense. The ‘78 Bulldogs finished a point behind national champion Alabama in scoring defense. UGA’s ‘79 defense forced 49 takeaways,
the national high.
A native of Birmingham, Ala., Russell held a bachelor’s and master’s
degrees from Auburn. He played football, basketball, baseball and tennis
for the Tigers, earning 10 varsity letters. Russell was the last four-sport
letterman in Auburn history.
Married to Erk for 57 years, Jean Russell passed away in September
2008. The couple is survived by their two sons, Rusty and Jay.

In February of 2010 the NCAA announced the selection of Frisco,
Texas, as the new host site for the NCAA Division I Football Championship
game. Frisco emerged from a pool of several cities that submitted bids to
serve as the host site for the championship game for the next three years,
beginning with the 2010 season. Hosted by the Southland Conference, the
championship game will be played at Pizza Hut Park on January 7, 2011.
The championship game will be the culmination of a newly expanded
20-team championship bracket. As a result of this expansion, the game will
be played a few weeks later than in years past. The 2010 NCAA Division I
Football Championship Game is scheduled for Friday, January 7, 2011.
The Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) includes the conferences
and institutions that compete in the NCAA Division I Football Championship,
in addition to two conferences who choose not to participate in the football
championship, the Ivy League and the Southwestern Athletic Conference.
The FCS embodies a tradition of excellence through high level competition,
student-athlete character and sportsmanship throughout the regular
season
SUPPLEMENT NO. 11B
DI Football Championship Comm. - 2/10
and the championship experience.
The decision to award the championship site to Frisco, Texas, was
recommended by the Division I Football Championship Committee and
approved by the Administrative Committee of the Division I Championships/
2010 NCAA
Division I

(Paulson Stadium; Attendance: 18,118; Temp. 91)
STATESBORO, Ga. - Sophomore Adrian
Mora kicked a career-long 44-yard field
goal to cap Georgia Southern’s 29-26
season-opening win over Albany (N.Y.)
Saturday night at Paulson Stadium. The
Eagles, celebrating the 25th anniversary of
Paulson Stadium, recorded the program’s
150th win at the stadium.
Early in the fourth quarter, Lee Chapple
connected again with true-freshman
Jamere Valentine on a 26-yard touchdown
in the left corner of the endzone for a 26-23 lead. Albany tied the score with
6:24 remaining on Herb Glass’ 33-yard field goal. From there Chapple and
the Eagles got into a rhythm.
Sophomore Adam Urbano started the drive with a six yard run. On 3rdand-5, Chapple found true-freshman Mitchell Williford for 13 yards. Chapple
hit Urbano for 10 yards and another first down to the GS 47. Two more
completions set up 3rd-and-7 as Chapple and Urbano connected for 12
yards and another first down.
After rushing for two yards, the sophomore quarterback found Williford
for 11 yards to the Albany 25. Chapple found Urbano twice more but the team
was facing 4th-and-11 from the 23 with 40 seconds left.
Mora, who earlier missed from 51 yards, sailed the kick through the
uprights which proved to be the game-winner. His previous long was 42
yards last year in the season-finale at Furman. The drive took 14 plays and
trimmed 5:44 off the clock.
The defense held Albany to just one completion in the final drive, the last
attempt an incomplete pass by Vinny Esposito on 4th-and-8.
Not only did head coach Chris Hatcher start off the 2009 season with a
win, the Eagles in the process ended a four-game home losing streak dating
back to last year.
After both teams could not capitalize on their first drive, the Eagles were
held to a 3-and-out on their second. Charlie Edwards launched a 49-yard
punt, and Justin Gannon could not hold onto the ball after Ronnie Wiggins’
hit. Darrell Pasco picked up the loose ball setting up GS on the Albany 35.
The Eagles drove down to inside the 10 but settled for a Mora 24-yard
field goal and 3-0 lead.
Albany capped a 16-play drive, including four conversions on third down,
when David McCarty scored from a yard out. Later in the quarter Glass
kicked a career-long 48-yard field goal extending the Great Danes’ lead to
10-3. Albany looked to gain momentum again holding the Eagles to a 3-andout, but Edwards’ career-long 64-yard punt pinned the Great Danes on their
own one.
Three plays later, Laron Scott stepped in front of Esposito’s pass at the
15 and raced into the endzone for his first collegiate score. Mora tied the
game at 10-all.
Albany staged another 10-play drive, highlighted by a fake punt attempt
by Andrew Smith who rushed for 30 yards on 4th-and-4. The drive was
capped by McCarty’s 2-yard run. However on the extra point attempt, Brent
Russell broke through the line and blocked Glass’ attempt. Pasco scooped
up the loose ball and raced in for a defensive PAT, making it a 16-12 game at
the half.
In the first half, Albany rolled up 187 yards of total offense compared to
the Eagles’ 88 - 79 by Chapple (11-of-21) through the air.
Dion DuBose recorded 11 tackles in the first half alone, one better than
his career-high of 10 during the 2008 season-finale at Furman.
Harland Bower sacked Esposito midway through the third quarter and
forced him out of the game. That keyed the Eagles on their next drive.
Chapple capped a five play drive in which the Eagles drove 75 yards. The
sophomore QB found Valentine on a screen pass. He broke a couple of
tackles and scored from 36 yards out. Mora’s extra point made it 19-16.
The Great Danes used their third quarterback of the quarter, bringing in
Smith. Relying on the run, Smith capped the drive when on 4th-and-1 he hit
the pile, looked to be stopped but broke right and raced 39 yards for a score.
Glass’ extra point gave Albany a 23-19 lead with 3:36 left in the third quarter.
Chapple finished 12-of-12 in the fourth quarter - actually hit his last 15 in
a row - and went 30-of-43 in the game for 259 yards and matched a careerhigh of two touchdown passes.

Valentine caught six passes for 79 yards. Urbano not only rushed for 53
yards, but caught a career-high eight passes for 48 yards after totaling five
catches in all of 2008.
DuBose finished with a career-high 15 tackles. Fellow sophomore K.R.
Snipes recorded a career-high nine tackles. Bower finished with 2.5 tackles
for a loss and seven stops in all. True-freshman Darius Eubanks along with
Wiggins recorded seven tackles each.
Mora matched a career-high of two field goals and converted on all three
extra points. Edwards averaged 47 yards on five punts.
Esposito went 14-of-28 for 110 yards and the interception. Smith led all
rushers with 99 yards while McCarty - a member of the Walter Payton Award
watch list - was limited to 63 yards on 24 carries. Justin Brancaccio led the
Albany defense with nine tackles, including two for a loss.
GAME NOTES: Mora has kicked a field goal in nine straight games, every
game of his collegiate career... Scott’s interception return for a touchdown
was the first by an Eagle in six games. Former Eagle Damon Suggs caught
a tipped Chattanooga pass in the endzone last year for a touchdown. The
last time GS returned an interception for a TD at Paulson Stadium was
November 12, 2005 (vs. Morehead State) when A.J. Bryant returned a pick
74 yards for a score... Chapple’s 30 completions were the second-highest
single-game total in program history. The Eagles have blocked eight kicks
since the start of the 2008 season. It was the first career block by Russell...
When Bower sacked Esposito in the third quarter that was the first collegiate
sack for the senior defensive end.

September 12, 2009
(Coughlin-Alumni Stadium; Attendance: 12,354; Temp. 73)
BROOKINGS, S.D. - Georgia Southern
found itself down only by 10 at halftime
but South Dakota State pulled away in
the second half and handed the Eagles
a 44-6 defeat Saturday night (Sept.
12) at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium. The
Eagles dropped to 1-1 overall while
the 21st-ranked Jackrabbits won their
season-opener.
The loss also marked the first time
Georgia Southern was held to less than seven points since the second
round of the 1995 playoffs, a 45-0 loss at Montana.
Georgia Southern took the opening kickoff and drove into SDSU
territory. Lee Chapple converted his first four pass attempts, extending
his streak to 19 consecutive completions dating back to the Albany
game, but missed on his fifth attempt of the drive. The Eagles eventually
had to punt, and despite a muffed return the Jackrabbits were able to
recover.
The Eagles defense held on third and short. Sophomore Kyle
Harris converted his first career field goal when he nailed a 44-yard
attempt with 6:58 remaining in the first quarter.
GS responded with another drive into Jackrabbit territory. Facing
fourth-and-long, Adrian Mora converted from 46 yards out, improving
on a career-high he set the previous week to tie the game at 3-all.
The Eagles were able to overcome an interception in the second
quarter when Brent Russell forced a fumble which K.R. Snipes
recovered. However, Chapple was hit and fumbled on the next drive
and the Jackrabbits recovered inside the Eagles 20. Kyle Minett scored
from two yards out making it 10-3 with just over 10 minutes remaining
in the half.
Chapple tried to hit J.J. Wilcox deep across the middle but was hit
when he threw and Conrad Kjerstad came up with an interception. He
returned it 40 yards putting the ball on the GS 13. J.B. Shippy recorded
a sack on first down and the defense forced two hurried passes. SDSU
had to settle for a Harris 37-yard field goal and 13-3 lead which would
be the halftime score.
SDSU took the second half kickoff and returned it just into GS
territory. Ryan Crawford’s 4-yard pass to Mike Steffen capped the
seven-play touchdown drive, putting the Jackrabbits ahead 20-3.
After a 3-and-out by the offense, SDSU converted on third down
when Crawford and Steffen connected again on a 62-yard touchdown
pass with nine minutes left in the quarter.

Mora kicked a 36-yard field goal with just over four minutes left in the
third, cutting the deficit to 27-6. The Jackrabbits came right back with a
5-yard TD run by Minett and 34-6 lead.
Early in the fourth quarter Harris connected on a 40-yard field
goal, his third of the game. Thomas O’Brien found Sam Kavanagh on a
5-yard touchdown for the final margin.
It also marked the largest margin of defeat for the Eagles since a
62-14 loss at Florida in the second game of the 1996 season.
“I thought in the first half defensively we played well, holding them
to two field goals and having them miss one. They were a better football
team than us tonight, that showed in the second half,” said head coach
Chris Hatcher. “At times we played hard and executed well. Going into
the game I thought they would be one of the best defenses we would
face all year. They have a great defensive line... It’s only one game and
it’s a long season. We’ll see how we respond come Monday.”
Chapple completed 25-of-39 passes for 174 yards but threw two
interceptions. Kyle Collins completed 6-of-15 passes for 58 yards and
threw an interception.
Freshman Darreion Robinson rushed for 47 yards and caught a
game-high nine passes totaling 14 yards. Mitch Williford hauled in six
passes for 59 yards.

STATESBORO, Ga. - Georgia Southern’s
defense turned in a record-setting
performance as the Eagles won their
Southern Conference-opener 27-3 over
Western Carolina Saturday night (Sept.
19) at Paulson Stadium. The Eagles
improved to 2-1 overall and snapped a
four-game losing streak in SoCon openers
(2004, a 58-14 win over Wofford).
The defense held Western (0-3, 0-1)
to minus-12 yards rushing, the secondlowest total allowed in program history and in the process set a Paulson
Stadium record. GS also gave up just four first downs (at VMI, Oct. 1993)
and none rushing (vs. Valdosta State, Sept. 1992), both matching program
records.
After holding Western to a 3-and-out on the opening drive, the Eagles
marched down the field. Lee Chapple completed a pass to Jamere Valentine
on 3rd-and-5 and Johnathan Bryant on 3rd-and-7 to keep the drive alive.
The drive stalled inside the redzone but Adrian Mora converted on a 31-yard
field goal for the game’s first points.
That field goal marked the 11th consecutive game Mora kicked a field
goal (every game of his collegiate career), and in the process set a GS
record.
The Eagles again drove into Western territory during the first quarter.
Mora’s 42-yard field goal attempt was blocked and the Catamounts took
over near midfield. Zack Jaynes found Chris Everett for 44 yards. On third
down Jaynes went to the endzone but Darrell Pasco recorded the first
interception of his career.
Later in the half facing third down from the Eagles’ 12, Jaynes found
George Richardson but Derek Heyden put the hit on and forced a fumble.
Dion DuBose picked up the loose ball on the five and raced 57 yards into
Catamount territory. Chapple hit Patrick Barker for a 10-yard gain then a
facemask penalty gave GS 1st-and-10 on the WCU 12. Three plays later
Chapple hit Valentine on a 13-yard touchdown and Mora’s kick made it 100.
The Eagles scored again late in the half thanks to a 12-play drive that
covered 80 yards. Chapple found Garryon Taylor on a 6-yard TD pass to the
right corner of the endzone. Mora’s extra point gave GS a 17-0 lead heading
into the locker room.
Ronnie Wiggins took the kickoff to start the second half 41 yards into
Western territory. An offsides call helped stall the drive inside the 10 as
Mora would convert from 23 yards out capping the nine-play drive. That
second field goal matched Mora’s career-high.
The defense forced Western to punt, but on the return Valentine
fumbled and Western recovered on its own 10. Three incomplete passes
set up Blake Bostic’s 32-yard field goal, making it 20-3 in the final minute of
the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter the offense finally punched one into the endzone
on the ground. Adam Urbano scored from 13 yards out on 4th-and-1
marking the team’s first rushing touchdown this year.
During the second half, the defense held Western to just 16 yards of
total offense and no first downs.
“Our goal coming into this game was to be more aggressive defensively
which I thought we did. What an outstanding job. We have got to take our
hats off to our defense and we should have had a shutout, but those things
are hard to come by. But they played an awesome ball game all night long. It
made it easy for us offensively,” said head coach Chris Hatcher. “One thing
we talked about is we have to take some pressure off of Lee Chapple. He’s
had two games where we have asked him to do too much. We’ve got a good
offensive line and we felt like we just needed to just line up and play some
physical football upfront and we did that. We were able to control the clock
and we controlled the game from start to finish. I thought we were in great
control of the ball game.
“Offensively if we can eliminate a penalty here or there tonight was
even a bigger night. But we finally scored some touchdowns and were very
excited about that. Hopefully we will build off this game and get a little better
each and every week,” stated Hatcher.
Chapple finished 26-of-38 through the air for 249 yards and matched a
career-high with two touchdown passes.

ELON, N.C. - Georgia Southern’s defense
kept Elon to a second half field goal but the
offense could not capitalize on two drives
late in the game as the Eagles dropped
a 28-14 decision Saturday afternoon. GS
slipped to 2-2 overall and 1-1 in the SoCon
on a day that saw a steady rain at Rhodes
Stadium.
In the first half, Georgia Southern
managed one first down and was outgained 357-22 in total offense. Elon also
got to Lee Chapple for five sacks in the first half. When Adam Schreiner hit
a 26-yard field goal early in the third quarter the Eagles found themselves
down 26-7.
The Eagles’ offense used both the running and passing games to score
their first touchdown. Adam Urbano rushed for a third down conversion and
Chapple hit Jamere Valentine in Elon territory on third down. Chapple found
Patrick Barker on an 8-yard touchdown pass, his first collegiate touchdown
reception. Adrian Mora’s extra point capped the nine-play, 73-yard drive
making it 26-14 midway through the third.
On the first play of the fourth quarter Scott Riddle launched a punt that
landed on the Eagles’ one. As the Eagles faced 1st-and-10, Urbano was
stopped in the endzone by Jordan Daniel for a safety, making it 28-14.
Once again the Georgia Southern defense stepped up and forced
a turnover. The Eagles forced Riddle to throw the first interception of this
season, and first since the next-to-last game of the 2008 season. Tavaris
Williams got a tip on the ball and Brent Russell recorded his first interception,
returning it three yards before getting forced out of bounds on the Elon 16.
Urbano picked up a first down on 4th-and-1 from the seven. However, on the
next play Karlos Sullivan stepped in front of Chapple’s pass in the endzone
for an interception.
During Elon’s next drive, Terrione Benefield forced a fumble after
Terrell Hudgins caught a Riddle pass and gained 17 yards. Markeith Wylie
recovered the fumble on Elon’s 36. Facing 3rd-and-20, Chapple hit Darreion
Robinson for 10 yards, but on fourth down Joshua Jones picked off Chapple
sealing the Phoenix win.
“The first half we gave up a couple big plays and a drive late in the half
we did a poor job of tackling,” said head coach Chris Hatcher. “Then after
that our defense settled in and played a whale of a game. We only gave up
three points from that point,” stated Hatcher. “We fought hard, we thought we
were in the game right to the end. Our defense was very opportunistic in the
second half and made some plays that were big for our football team.”
During Elon’s (3-1, 1-0) opening drive of the game, Riddle found
Hudgins for 46 yards down to the GS 19. On the next play Riddle kept the
ball and scored just 69 seconds into the game, capping the five play drive.
On the first play of the second quarter, Riddle found Lance Camp for
53 yards as Darrell Pasco made a touchdown-saving tackle on the 12. Two
plays later, Williams laid a hit on A.J. Harris then Pasco scooped up the
loose ball and raced 85 yards for a touchdown. It was the first collegiate
touchdown for the senior defensive back.
Elon responded with an Adam Schreiner 41-yard field goal. Later in the
quarter Riddle found Sean Jeffcoat for a 52-yard gain and capped the drive
with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Taylor Berry. Russell blocked his second
extra point attempt of the year, keeping it a 16-7 game with five minutes left
in the second quarter.
Harris redeemed himself on the fumble by scoring a 28-yard touchdown
and the extra point made it a 23-7 game with 1:41 left in the half.
K.R. Snipes recorded a career-high 10 tackles for the Eagles. Dion
DuBose added nine stops. Russell finished with a career-high nine tackles,
1.5 tackles for a loss, one interception and a blocked kick.
Pasco matched a career-high seven tackles to go with his fumble return
for a touchdown. However, miscues proved too costly to overcome.
“We had 11 penalties and three turnovers, you can’t win in this
conference making that many mistakes. We are still right in the thick of
things... Two years ago we got beat by Elon in double-overtime and low
and behold we find ourselves in the last conference game of the season we
are three inches on a missed field goal away from winning the conference
championship and receiving the automatic berth so anything can happen. If
we continue to get that kind of effort from our defense our offense is going
to come. The thing I’m most proud about as a coach is we never gave up.
We played hard every single snap all the way to the end of the game,” said
Hatcher.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Lee Chapple turned
in one of the best passing performances
in program history to help lead a balanced
offensive attack while the Georgia Southern
defense recovered a fumble in the final
minute as the Eagles captured a 26-21 win at
Wofford. The Eagles improved to 3-2 overall
and 2-1 in the Southern Conference.
Chapple was successful on his first 17
pass attempts, tying for the second-longest
streak in Southern Conference history, and
finished 25-of-28 in the game. However, it was the defense recovering a key
fumble with 70 seconds left that secured the Eagles’ first road win this year.
Facing 4th-and-2 from its own 45, GS sent on the punt team. A muffed
snap and kick off the side of Charlie Edwards’ foot resulted in a 3-yard punt
and Wofford (1-4, 0-2) returned it to the GS 42. Michael Scott rushed for seven
yards but a holding call on the next play made it 2nd-and-7 from the 39. Mitch
Allen attempted a pitch wide left, but the ball went behind the runner and Tavaris
Williams recovered the loose ball. The Eagles were able to take a knee to run
out the clock.
Georgia Southern took the opening kickoff and wasted no time getting on
the scoreboard. Jamere Valentine took a reverse on the second play and raced
41 yards down the right sidelines. Chapple hit Valentine on a screen and the
freshman wideout took advantage of the blocking for a 14-yard touchdown.
Adrian Mora’s extra point gave the Eagles a 7-0 lead.
Wofford took over at midfield and was facing a 4th-and-1 from the GS 22
but was flagged for offsides. Opponents were 4-of-6 on the year against the
Eagles on fourth down, however, the defense forced an incomplete pass and the
offense took over on downs.
Mike Rucker broke loose for a 65-yard run on the first play of the 2nd quarter,
brought down on a touchdown-saving tackle by Laron Scott. Allen found Justice
Joslin on a 9-yard touchdown pass to tie the game with 13:49 left in the half.
On the ensuing drive, the Eagles drove into Wofford territory. Mora converted
from 48 yards out, a career-long field goal completion, putting the Eagles ahead
10-7.
Wofford converted a 4th-and-1 from the Eagles’ two by the nose of the
football. Three plays later, Allen broke a tackle and scored a 3-yard touchdown
for a 14-10 lead which would be the halftime score.
The GS defense held Wofford to a 3-and-out to start the second half. Chapple
marched the Eagles down the field and capped off the drive with a Darreion
Robinson 24-yard touchdown run and 17-14 advantage. It was the freshman’s
first collegiate touchdown on his longest run of the season.
Once again the defense came up big on fourth down, stopping Allen a yard
short on the GS 30. On Chapple’s first pass attempt of the drive, Robinson
dropped the pass ending the sophomore quarterback’s streak at 17. That tied
Stanley Myers of The Citadel (Oct. 17, 1998) for the second-longest streak in
SoCon history.
Later in the drive Mora improved on his career-long, hitting from 50 yards
out. The longest field goal by an Eagle since 2007 put the Eagles ahead 20-14.
His second field goal also matched a career-high in a game.
On Wofford’s next drive, Allen scrambled on third down but his errant pass
attempt was intercepted by Darrell Pasco who returned it to the Wofford 23.
Three plays later Adam Urbano punched it in from three yards out. A bad snap
led to a failed two-point conversion, making it 26-14 with 4:14 left in the third
quarter.
Early in the fourth Wofford faced 4th-and-inches from the GS 37. The
defense made a stop on the pitch attempt but was flagged for offsides. Later that
drive Allen hit Brenton Bersin on a 21-yard touchdown pass making it 26-21 with
10:47 remaining.
The defense allowed only one first down the rest of the game securing the
win.
“Today’s win puts us right back in the (SoCon) race. I’ve said all year the way
this conference is going you’ve just got to hang in there until the end and have
yourself a chance to win that last conference game for the championship. We
(continued to) put ourselves in (that) position, and I’m real proud of our guys,”
said head coach Chris Hatcher.
Chapple threw for 187 yards and had the one TD with no interceptions,
the first time this year not throwing a pick on the road. Robinson rushed for a
season-high 78 yards while Urbano tallied 56 rushing yards, both carrying the
ball 13 times.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Georgia Southern
Football out-scored North Carolina in the
second half but first half turnovers proved too
costly to overcome in a 42-12 loss Saturday
(Oct. 10) at Kenan Stadium. The Eagles
drop to .500 at 3-3 overall while UNC (4-2)
snapped a two-game losing streak.
In the first half, Georgia Southern
committed four turnovers, two that directly led
to a touchdown and another that resulted in a
TD. However, the defense blanked the BCS
member during the final 30 minutes holding the Tar Heels to 62 yards in the
second half and 289 for the game.
“First of all I know the score didn’t indicate it but our defense played
outstanding. We gave up a 14-play drive and 12-play drive and that was kind of our
game plan going in, to not give up the big play and make them work the ball down
the field,” said head coach Chris Hatcher. “They had some offensive struggles but
they executed well. We missed a few tackles, and we were outmanned at a lot of
positions. Other than that our defense shut them down the entire afternoon. We
gave them a very short field on some of our turnovers, and it doesn’t matter who
you play, if you give up those types of turnovers you’re not going to win the game.”
The Eagles got a first down on the opening drive but was forced to punt.
UNC took over on its own 11 and staged an 89-yard touchdown drive on 14
plays. Ryan Houston scored on a 1-yard run, the first TD by UNC on its opening
possession this year, and the PAT was converted with 6:59 in the first quarter.
On the Eagles next drive Robert Quinn sacked Lee Chapple and forced a
fumble which was recovered by UNC. Shaun Draughn took the ball on the very
next play and scored from 16 yards out making it 14-0.
GS marched into Tar Heel territory again and this time found the endzone.
Adam Urbano broke through the right side on a career-long 45-yard touchdown
run. Adrian Mora’s extra point cut the deficit in half with 3:03 remaining. The
defense forced the home team to punt and the Eagles started gaining some
momentum.
Facing 4th-and-1 from their own 39, Chapple was stopped at the line and
bounced to the outside to gain the first down. Urbano gained another first down
but on the play was stripped by Quan Sturdivant, and the junior linebacker
returned it 49 yards for a touchdown. Casey Barth’s extra point gave UNC a 21-7
lead with 8:29 left in the first half. More miscues led to UNC points.
Two plays later Chapple was intercepted by Zach Brown, giving the Tar
Heels the ball on the Eagles’ 22. Then just three plays later Houston scored from
seven yards out with 6:29 left in the half. UNC was opportunistic again on defense
during the next Eagle drive. Bruce Carter stepped in front of a Chapple pass at
the GS 41 and raced into the endzone for a score. Right before halftime Houston
set a career-high with a 1-yard touchdown run, his third rushing TD of the game
to cap the 28-point quarter.
The 42 points allowed in the first half were the most in program history
(surpassed 40 points scored by Texas State during second half of 2005 NCAA
playoffs).
“Our goal was to win the game, but not doing that we wanted to win the
second half. We did that,” stated Hatcher.
In the third quarter Georgia Southern’s defense forced a fumble of its own
when Brent Russell sacked back-up quarterback A.J. Blue and recovered the
loose ball. Two personal fouls along with runs by Urbano set up the Eagles 1stand-goal. Mora kicked a 25-yard field goal with 9:01 left in the third.
Midway through the fourth quarter, Charlie Edwards launched a 40 yard
punt which was downed on the 1-yard line. Blue tried running up the middle but
Markeith Wylie and J.B. Shippy made the stop and Wylie was credited for the
safety which would account for the final margin.
“I take a lot more positives out of the game. It doesn’t feel good to get beat,
but we knew we were up for a very tall task... Defensively we continued to play
outstanding,” said Hatcher. “Our offensive line pass pro(tected) pretty decent and
we were able to run the ball a lot more effectively against those guys. They were
the eighth-ranked defense in the country and their front seven is as good as I’ve
ever seen, even in my days at Kentucky.
“We played hard for 60 minutes. But you don’t turn the ball over, and it could
have been a different game there at the end. I was real proud of our guys. We are
not excited we got beat, but we were a lot better out there today than we were
against Wofford last week,” said Hatcher.
Urbano had set a career-high rushing total by halftime and finished with 93
yards on a career-high equaling 17 carries. His previous best was 83 yards last
year at Western Carolina.

STATESBORO, Ga. - Sophomore running
back Adam Urbano rushed for a careerhigh 153 yards and two touchdowns leading
Georgia Southern to a 30-20 Southern
Conference win over Chattanooga at
Paulson Stadium Saturday night (Oct. 17).
The Eagles, dealing with a steady rain
and temperatures in the 50s, improved to 4-3
overall and 3-1 in the SoCon while snapping
Chattanooga’s (4-2, 2-2) three-game win
streak.
The Eagles took the opening kickoff on their own 40 when Craig Camay
kicked it out of bounds. Jamere Valentine picked up 21 yards on a doublereverse, and thought to have a touchdown reception but it was called back on
a holding call. Two plays later Urbano got the Eagles in the endzone again,
scoring from nine yards out. Adrian Mora converted the extra point for a 7-0
lead.
Georgia Southern forced a UTC punt on the Mocs’ first drive. When the
Eagles took over, Urbano fumbled the ball and the Mocs recovered on the GS
32. On the first play B.J. Coleman found Chris Pitchford down the middle for a
touchdown with 6:41 left in the first quarter.
Early in the second quarter Mora converted a 20-yard field goal to cap a
10-play drive, his 20th career field goal, to make it 10-7.
Camay kicked a 40-yard field goal during the final minute of the second
quarter to tie the score at 10-all. Senior Tobi Akinniranye took the Mocs’ squib
kick and returned it 27 yards into UTC territory, his first collegiate return. Urbano
rushed 19 yards on a draw to get into field goal range. With 3.9 seconds
remaining Mora nailed a 45-yarder to put the Eagles up 13-10.
Chattanooga took the opening kick of the second half and drove inside the
GS 10. The defense held on three straight pass plays as the Mocs settled for a
25-yard field goal from Camay to tie the score.
On the Eagles ensuing drive and facing 3rd-and-5, Lee Chapple scrambled
and found J.J. Wilcox for 37 yards. GS wasted no time capitalizing as on the
next play Urbano took the handoff and scored from two yards out capping the
10-play, 65-yard drive.
Early in the fourth quarter, Chapple faced 3rd-and-short again and this time
found a wide open Tyler Sumner for a 9-yard touchdown pass, extending the
lead to 27-13. Later in the quarter Mora extended his career-high nailing his
third field goal of the game, a 20-yarder.
Coleman’s pass to Terrance Davis for an 8-yard touchdown with 1:16 left
proved to be the final margin.
Head coach Chris Hatcher and the Eagles were able to nearly double the
points allowed by UTC’s defense coming in (16.0 ppg) and held the Mocs under
their season-average (26.2 ppg).
“I thought we did a nice job, especially early in the game, of mixing in our
quick passes with our run game. Adam Urbano did a great job of finding the
holes and we just did a good job of executing. We were in good rhythm all night
long,” said Hatcher.
Urbano’s previous high came last week at North Carolina (93 yards) and
twice rushed 17 times. For the third time in his career he scored two touchdowns.
Chapple completed 16-of-24 passes for 132 yards and the TD. With 154
completions he now stands two shy of matching the season record. Valentine
caught four passes for 21 yards and Patrick Barker also hauled in four passes
totaling 18 yards. Urbano added 37 receiving yards on three catches.
Sophomore punter Charlie Edwards averaged 48.2 yards on four punts,
including a 62-yard punt and a 61-yarder into the wind.
Redshirt-freshman Brent Russell, who entered the game with 3 sacks on
the season, recorded two sacks on the same drive and finished with 3 tackles.
Dion DuBose led the team with 10 stops. Laron Scott and Hudson Presume
contributed six tackles each, a career-high total for Presume.
The Eagles out-gained UTC 320-241, the third straight week holding an
opponent to under 320 yards, including 188-33 on the ground.
“Defensively we have played well all season. Right now we are playing
with a ton of confidence on the defensive side of the ball. It really makes it
easy for (defensive coordinator) coach (Ashley) Anders to call plays and dial up
defenses when he knows the guys are going to execute. He had a great game
plan to get the guys ready to play and they went out and played extremely well,”
said Hatcher. “We were one play away from having our second straight second
half shutout. In the first half our offense put our defense in a bad situation and
they scored after two turnovers, which is something that is still plaguing us. At

least after those initial turnovers we held on to the ball the rest of the game and
again it was a complete effort. Our special team has continued to play solid.
That was a big kick there at the end of the half by Mora. Those three points
came back to be pretty big as far as how many possessions they had to have to
score at the end of the game.”
Coleman completed 23-of-43 passes for 208 yards and two scores. Blue
Cooper caught seven passes for 60 yards. Chris Awuah rushed for 41 yards but
the Eagle defense sacked Coleman twice totaling 22 yards.
Jordan Tippit and Joseph Thornton had 12 tackles apiece.
GAME NOTES: Georgia Southern scored on its opening drive for the second
time this year... True-freshman J.J. Wilcox returned from an injury, having
missed the previous three games. His 37-yard reception in the third quarter
was his longest this season... When Mora kicked the extra point on the Eagles’
first touchdown that marked his 100th career point. He previously hit two field
goals in a game six times... This marked the third straight game the defense
allowed fewer total yards than the previous week... For the third time this year
the Eagles held an opponent to 85 or fewer rushing yards... Valentine moved
up to seventh place among the season ‘Top 10’ leaders in receptions... Chapple
is five passing yards shy (1,188) of 10th place among the season ‘Top 10’...
Sumner’s touchdown reception was the first of his career and seventh thrown by
Chapple... Edwards had only one career punt of 60-plus yards and accounted for
two in the game - both coming in the second half... Georgia Southern improved
to 20-3 all-time against Chattanooga, as the 11 wins against UTC in Paulson are
the most by the Eagles against any opponent... Saturday’s game marked the
first home game for the Eagles since September 19 and they do not return to
Paulson until the final two weeks of the regular season (Nov. 14 and 21).

(Kidd Brewer Stadium; Attendance: 26,215; Temp. 64)
BOONE, N.C. - Appalachian State got
off to an early lead and never looked
back as Georgia Southern suffered a
52-16 Southern Conference loss at Kidd
Brewer Stadium on Saturday. The Eagles
dropped to 4-4 overall and 3-2 in the
SoCon.
The 52 points were the secondmost allowed by the Eagles in the series
(59-0 loss in 1939). The 712 yards of
total offense gained by eighth-ranked
App State are the most yards given up by Georgia Southern in program
history.
The Eagles were held to 3-and-out on their opening drive. ASU (53, 4-0) took over on its own 23 and marched down the field in 10 plays,
capping the touchdown drive with a 15-yard touchdown pass from Armanti
Edwards to Matt Cline.
ASU’s defense held the Eagles again on third down and forced a
punt. Charlie Edwards launched a career-long 68-yard punt, pinning the
Mountaineers on their own seven. During that drive Edwards completed
a pass to Brad Hardee, but on the play he fumbled. Sophomore Derek
Heyden scooped up the loose ball and raced 38 yards for his first
collegiate touchdown. Adrian Mora’s extra point with five minutes left in
the first quarter tied the score.
On the ensuing drive, Edwards hit a wide open CoCo Hillary for a 53yard touchdown score. Early in the second quarter Devon Moore scored
from four yards out making it 21-7.
Sophomore Hudson Presume forced a fumble in the second quarter
which was recovered by Markeith Wylie. On the play Presume was
injured and taken off the field on a stretcher. He went to the local hospital
for observation and was later released after tests came back negative.
Adam Urbano took a handoff on the Eagles’ next play but fumbled
and ASU recovered on the Eagles’ 27. The Mountaineers needed just four
plays for Moore to score a 5-yard touchdown extending the lead to 28-7.
Georgia Southern drove down the field later in the quarter and got
into the redzone on an 11-play scoring drive. Mora connected from 31
yards out making it 28-10.
ASU scored right before halftime when Edwards connected with
Hillary for a 9-yard touchdown. Edwards completed 23-of-29 passes for
304 yards in the first half as ASU held a 413-96 edge in total offense.
Early in the third Moore recorded his third rushing TD of the game,
scoring from 10 yards out to give the Mountaineers a 42-10 lead.
The Eagles staged a 15-play drive midway through the third, capped
by Adam Urbano’s 2-yard touchdown run. The attempted two-point
conversion pass failed, making it 42-16.
Jason Vitaris added a 43-yard FG with 2:10 left in the third quarter.
Sophomore Tavaris Williams stopped an Appalachian scoring
attempt, intercepting Travaris Cadet in the endzone. He returned his first
collegiate interception out of the endzone for 29 yards.
In the fourth Cadet scored a 15-yard touchdown run for the final
margin.
The Eagles dropped to 1-4 on the road this year, a season after the
Eagles won all their road conference games.
“We didn’t play aggressively on either side of the ball at the start of
the game. Appalachian is the same as they’ve always been. Nothing’s
changed and I’ve said that all year that this is a great football team.
Today, they came out fired up and took it to us early on and never looked
back,” said head coach Chris Hatcher. “We came up here planning to
win this game but we couldn’t run the ball, and when you can’t do that
it makes everything else much more difficult. When you play a team
like Appalachian if you’re not hitting on all phases of the game you get
exposed pretty quickly.”
Chapple completed 20-of-34 passes for 156 yards and an interception.
With 174 pass completions this year he broke Antonio Henton’s record of
156 set last year. He also moved into the season ‘Top 10’ in passing
yards, now 1,344 yards good for seventh place.
Patrick Barker caught a season-high six passes for 25 yards. J.J.
Wilcox and Mitchell Williford caught four passes each.
Williams entered the game with a career-high five tackles and more
than doubled that, sharing game-high honors with 11 stops. Dion DuBose

yards on 11 carries and completed 4-of-7 passes for 64 yards.
Hillary recorded 104 yards and two scores on seven receptions. Cline
finished with 102 yards on 10 catches. Cortez Gilbert led the defense with
nine tackles as the Mountaineers recorded six sacks in the game.
GAME NOTES: Freshman wide receiver Johnathan Bryant earned his
first start of the season... The Eagles were 0-3 this year when opponents
scored first... Edwards’ 68-yard punt in the first quarter continued a streak
where three of his last four punts were 60-plus yards. He averaged 44.2
yards on eight punts and landed three inside the 20-yard line... Heyden’s
fumble return was the third defensive score for the Eagles this season (two
fumble return, one INT)... At the end of the first quarter, Edwards became
just the second player in Division I history with 8,000 passing yards/4,000
rushing yards in career (Brad Smith of Missouri)... Wylie’s fumble recovery
was his third on the year, tying him for fourth place among the GS season
leaders... Jamere Valentine (2 receptions/41 yards) moved into a tie for
fifth place with 36 receptions this year. Urbano moved into the season
‘Top 10’ leaders for receptions in the game, thanks to his two receptions
giving him 30. He is now tied for 10th place. Barker just missed on joining
the group, currently with 29 receptions and counting.

(Seibert Stadium; Attendance: 7,730; Temp. 72)
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Georgia Southern
could not find an answer for Samford in
the second half, getting held scoreless in a
31-10 Southern Conference loss Saturday
afternoon (Nov. 7) at Seibert Stadium. The
Eagles (4-5 overall, 3-3 SoCon) suffered
consecutive losses for the first time this
year.
Samford (4-5, 2-4) successfully
recovered its onsides kick attempt to
start the game but was flagged for being
offsides. Following the 5-yard penalty Ronnie Wiggins took the kick and
raced a career-long 54 yards into Samford territory. Six plays later Adrian
Mora converted a 39-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead.
Later in the quarter Samford drove inside the Georgia Southern 10-yard
line, but the defense held on third-and-short thanks to a stop by sophomore
Tavaris Williams and the Bulldogs settled for a 25-yard field goal by Cameron
Yaw to tie the score.
Right before the first quarter ended, Bryce Smith intercepted a Lee
Chapple pass and Samford took over on the Eagles’ 20. Facing 3rd-and-goal
from the eight, Dustin Taliaferro found Richie Fordham in the back of the
endzone for a touchdown and 10-3 lead.
Samford forced another Eagle punt, but returner DeMarcus Covington
had the ball stripped by Ronnie Wiggins and senior lineman Josh Barker
recovered on the 26. On the first play, Brandon Nolley took the handoff and
raced to the endzone untouched for his first TD as an Eagle. Mora’s extra
point tied the game.
Charlie Edwards’ 41-yard punt set up Samford on its own 31 with three
minutes left in the half. Wasting no time, on the first play from scrimmage
Taliaferro found a wide open Riley Hawkins down the right sidelines and
raced in for a 69-yard touchdown and 17-10 lead.
Right before half Mora set up for a 49-yard attempt but came up short,
snapping the sophomore’s streak of nine consecutive field goals made and
the Bulldogs took the seven point lead into the locker room.
Samford drove down the field to start the half, and when facing 4th-andinches from the three, Taliaferro rolled out and scored the TD with 9:20 left.
After taking possession on Corey White’s interception, Fordham took a
pitch and found Alex Barnett for a 57-yard touchdown with 11:14 remaining.
The Eagles drove down to the Samford five on the following drive. Facing
4th-and-1, Adam Urbano took the direct handoff and looked to have the first
down but the officials stopped play on a flag, which was later waived off. The
Bulldogs stopped Urbano for no gain and took over on downs.
After alternating a win with a loss all season long, the Eagles are looking
to end a two-game losing streak heading into the final two home games of the
season.
“The story of the day is we got nothing going on offense, no consistency
and no rhythm. They had some big plays. I said earlier in the week we would
have to be able to move the ball consistently and limit their big plays. You
have to give them credit, they came out and played hard,” said Eagles head
coach Chris Hatcher.
Chapple completed 29-of-43 passes for 212 yards, but threw three
interceptions. It was the third-most pass completions in program history,
and his fifth career 200-yard passing game. However, the Samford defense
recorded eight sacks on the day, seven of Chapple.
Nolley entered the game with nine net rushing yards (on six carries) and
18 receiving yards (on five receptions) on the season. The junior running back
finished with 40 yards on six carries and caught three passes for 36 yards.
“They (Nolley and Zeke Rozier) had the best practices last week so we
gave them an opportunity to go out there and play... If there was a bright spot
today, it was Nolley. He played really well,” stated Hatcher.
Urbano finished with a career-high nine receptions (one off the program
record) for 55 yards. Patrick Barker finished with six receptions for 36 yards
while fellow true-freshman Jamere Valentine caught five passes for 40 yards.
Dion DuBose recorded three tackles for a loss and shared team-high
honors with eight tackles in all. Tavaris Williams added eight tackles while
K.R. Snipes made seven unassisted stops.
Bryce Smith made 12 tackles and two interceptions for the defense. J.M.
Clay recorded three of the sacks.
Taliaferro completed 11-of-20 passes for 151 yards and two scores.
Hawkins caught five passes for 101 yards. Chris Evans fell shy of breaking
the Samford career rushing record, but wound up with 96 yards on 26 carries.

GAME NOTES: Sophomore Nico Hickey not only made his first collegiate

yards)... Taliafero floated a pass on the Bulldogs’ first drive that true-freshman
Darius Eubanks picked off for his first interception as an Eagle... The Eagles
were out-gained in the first quarter 82-3 but closed the gap to 341-291 in
the game. GS actually had five more first downs, 19-14... Nolley’s second
quarter TD run marked the first time this year GS scored a touchdown on
the first play of a drive... Late in the first half, Chapple completed his 265th
career pass tying him with Raymond Gross for second place on the GS
career ‘Top 10’ list. That same drive Chapple surpassed the former standout.
He has 281 and counting (Tracy Ham, 352)... When Mora missed from 49
yards right before halftime that was the third-longest field goal attempt of the
sophomore’s career. He came up three shy of equaling Tim Foley’s record
of 12 consecutive FG made in a season (1985)... The Eagles were 0-for-7
on third down conversions in the first half while Samford was 3-for-7. GS
was 4-of-15 in the game while Samford was 4-of-13... With 1,556 passing
yards this year Chapple moved into fifth place on the season ‘Top 10’. The
sophomore now has 2,343 career passing yards, good for sixth place on the
career ‘Top 10’ list... Valentine moved into second place among the season
‘Top 10’ reception leaders with 41. Urbano is right behind, tied for third place
with 39. Patrick Barker moved into a tie for eighth place recording 35. Raja
Andrews set the record finishing with 64 following his senior year... Georgia

STATESBORO, Ga. - Georgia Southern
made a fourth quarter run at Furman but
ran out of time, losing 30-22 at Paulson
Stadium. The Eagles lost their third
straight, matching the longest such streak
in three years.
Falling to 4-6 overall (3-4 in the
Southern Conference), Georgia Southern
will record just its third losing season since
football was reinstated in the 1982 season.
Furman (5-5, 4-3) took the opening
kickoff and drove 84 yards on 10 plays to get the first score. Tersoo Uhaa
found the endzone on a 16-yard run and early 7-0 lead.
Junior quarterback Kyle Collins, making his first collegiate start, got a
first down on a pass to Patrick Barker. Three plays later, Collins was picked
off by Ryan Steed, who raced in for a 44-yard touchdown and 14-0 Paladin
lead with just over seven minutes remaining.
Early in the second quarter Jordan Sorrells hit Adam Mims on a crossing
pattern that resulted in a 29-yard touchdown. The Paladins took a 21-0 lead
with 11:49 left in the first half. Matthew Cesari kicked a 42-yard field goal five
minutes later.
The Eagles finally crossed the Paladin 40-yard line late in the first half.
Facing 4th-and-3 in the final minute the Eagles sent Adrian Mora on for a
37-yard attempt, but the sophomore kicker missed just right.
Furman out-gained GS in the first half 166-126. Sorrells completed 11 of
his 13 passes for 123 yards and a TD.
Lee Chapple entered the game on the Eagles’ second drive of the
third quarter. The sophomore quarterback drove down to the Furman 10,
facing 3rd-and-9. Chapple threw to Mitchell Williford, and the freshman wide
receiver launched a pass across field back to Chapple for a wide-open TD
with 9:21 left in the quarter.
The Paladins responded with a 2-yard TD run by Jerry Williams as 6:01
remained in the third but Furman missed the extra point, making it 30-7.
After getting sacked and fumbling on the play, GS responded when
sophomore Brett Layson recorded his first career interception, picking off
Chris Forcier on the seven. The Eagles needed 12 plays to cap the longest
scoring drive of the year as Chapple dove in from a yard out. He hit Barker
in the back of the endzone to complete the 2-point conversion.
The Eagles looked to successfully recovered the onsides kick attempt
but was flagged for offsides. In the final minute, Collins found Jamere
Valentine for 49 yards (the longest pass completion by the Eagles this
season), then on the next play threw his first collegiate TD pass, a 16-yard
strike to Johnathan Bryant. Mora kicked the extra point. However, the Eagles
could not recover the onsides attempt and Furman was able to take a knee
and run out the clock.
“We made a great play on the opening kickoff. We were fired up coming
out of the gates and then they go and convert a couple of third downs on
us. We miss a couple tackles, they go down and score and then we come
out and throw a pick six. At the end of the half I wanted to go in with some
momentum and put points on the board. (Adrian) Mora has been so great all
season long and he hooked that one to the left,” said Hatcher. “We came out
the second half and had an opportunity to quit, but we fought all the way to
the final whistle. And for that I’m proud of the boys.”
Collins finished 13-of-22 for 124 yards and a touchdown. He also led the
rushing attack netting 53 yards on six rushes. Chapple completed 10-of-16
passes for 75 yards and each QB threw an interception.
Brandon Nolley gained 49 yards on the ground. Adam Urbano caught
six passes while Barker finished with four receptions. Valentine had 76
receiving yards on three catches.
Senior Darrell Pasco nearly broke the single-game kickoff return
yardage record, finishing with 155 yards on six attempts (25.8 average).
Sophomore K.R. Snipes matched a career-high with 10 tackles, in
addition to his forced fumble and fumble recovery. Laron Scott made seven
solo tackles, two pass break-ups and recorded his team-leading third
interception of the year.
“It is hard to pinpoint our struggles defensively, but offensively we know
exactly where we need to improve at. We have got some guys playing hard.
I reiterate they didn’t quit. We fought all the way there to the end, if we could
have gotten that onsides kick to heave one more up and maybe make a play.

We just came up short and didn’t play well enough to win a ball game
against a Furman team that just outplayed us today,” said Hatcher.
Sorrells completed 17-of-23 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown.
Mims caught seven passes for 139 yards and a TD. Kadarron Anderson
paced the Furman defense with 10 tackles.
GAME NOTES: Collins earned the start in his ninth career game played...
The last time Georgia Southern was shutout in the first half was October 25,
2008 at Western Carolina. The Eagles went on to win the game 38-31 in
overtime. September 2002 was the last time the Eagles were held scoreless
at home in the first half, an eventual 14-7 loss to Wofford... Sophomore
punter Charlie Edwards handled the kickoff duties, the first time in his
career doing so. He averaged 64 yards on his two kickoffs and 40.5 yards
on eight punts. Edwards has recorded 62 punts this season, tying for thirdmost on the season ‘Top 10’ and 11 away from the record... The last time
someone other than a Georgia Southern quarterback threw a touchdown
pass came October 30, 2004 when then-wide receiver Jayson Foster found
T.J. Anderson on a 54-yard score as the Eagles would defeat South Dakota
State 63-7... Pasco finished 12 yards shy of the GS single-game record for
returns, set by Andrew Weathers at Furman in 2000... Urbano now moved
into second place among the season ‘Top 10’ reception leaders with 45.
Valentine is third with 44 and Barker is tied for fourth with 39... Chapple’s TD
reception was the first catch of his career... As part of BLUE OUT Paulson
Stadium the team wore blue pants. It was the second time this year (at Elon)
and first at home since last year’s event against Appalachian State.

November 21, 2009
STATESBORO, Ga. - Georgia Southern
Football held The Citadel scoreless for
59 minutes, then recovered an onsides
kick attempt to seal the 13-6 Southern
Conference win on Saturday (Nov. 21).
The Eagles close out the 2009 campaign
at 5-6 and 4-4 in the SoCon.
The Eagles held Citadel (4-7, 2-6)
to a 3-and-out to start the game. Mitchell
Williford caught the punt and on a reverse to Laron Scott the sophomore
picked up a team season-best 41 yards into Bulldog territory. GS drove
inside the 20 and put points on the board thanks to an Adrian Mora 31-yard
field goal.
On the ensuing drive Tommy Edwards found Andre Roberts for a 37yard reception into GS territory. On the next play Van Dyke Jones caught
the Edwards pass, but lost the ball when Darius Eubanks laid a hit and
the freshman defensive back recovered. However, the Eagles could not
capitalize - the first of two first quarter turnovers the Eagles had but could
not convert into points.
Five minutes into the second quarter Mora connected from 25 yards
out, extending the Eagles’ lead to 6-0.
Sophomore Tavaris Williams stepped in front of an Edwards pass and
raced 36 yards to the Bulldogs’ 32. The Eagles needed six plays for Lee
Chapple to find Williford for a 10-yard TD reception. Mora’s extra point in the
final minute of the half made it 13-0.
GS out-gained The Citadel 168-129 in total yards, forced three
turnovers and scored in all three trips inside the redzone.
Opponents entered the game successful 67 percent on fourth down
(10-of-15). Midway through the third, Citadel went for it on 4th-and-7 from
the Eagles 35. Sophomore J.B. Shippy recorded his fourth sack of the year
and GS took over on downs. Later in the quarter, The Citadel looked at
4th-and-1 but was flagged for a false start. Edwards’ pass attempt to Scott
Harward near the endzone was broken up by K.R. Snipes and once again
the Eagles took over on downs.
Edwards found Andre Roberts on a 5-yard touchdown pass, but Brent
Russell blocked the extra point attempt. Jamere Valentine recovered Sam
Keeler’s onside attempt and the Eagles took two knees to close out the win.
In all the Eagles held The Citadel to 1-of-5 on fourth down, 5-of-13 on
third down conversions.
“We played outstanding the entire afternoon. We haven’t won a whole
bunch this year and we sure didn’t want to mess it up. We weren’t looking
for style points here today, we were looking to have one more point than the
other team. I’m very proud of our team,” said GS head coach Chris Hatcher.
“All season long they stuck together with no finger pointing. They fought
every single game to the final whistle and today we did a lot of the same.
“Offensively we controlled the ball most of the game Again we look
back on what has been our Achilles heel all season. We have had a hard
time punching it in when we get down there. We missed a field goal and a
throwback to the quarterback. That would have made it a little easier at the
end of the game,” stated Hatcher. “The defense time and time again came
up with a big stop. It wasn’t just one guy it was a great team effort. To our
guys credit we blocked that extra point to take away a little bit of momentum.
What a great way to end a season.”
Chapple completed 20-of-32 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown.
He also led the rushing attack with 47 yards on 14 carries.
Valentine caught a season-high seven passes for 36 yards. Brandon
Nolley caught four passes for 48 yards and rushed for another 12.
Eubanks shared game-high honors with eight tackles, one off his
season-high. Shippy finished with seven solo tackles.
Edwards completed 23-of-38 passes for 213 yards and a touchdown
to go with his two interceptions. Roberts totaled 81 receiving yards on five
catches. Rod Harland also recorded eight tackles.

GAME NOTES: As part of the Military Appreciation Day, seniors David
Lewis and Garryon Taylor were selected to carry the American and Georgia
Southern flags while leading the team onto the field... Lewis made his first
start of the year at middle linebacker and first since the 2007 season... The
Eagles honored the 16 seniors prior to the game... During the first quarter
senior Terrione Benefield recorded his fourth career interception and first
since the 2006 season... Williford’s TD reception right before halftime was
the first of his career, and Chapple’s first TD pass since the fourth quarter
of the Chattanooga game, a span of four games... Opponents had outscored GS 132-49 in the second quarter this year, however, this time the
Eagles held a 10-0 edge... GS was 1-of-5 over the previous four games
converting on fourth down. Chapple’s 1-yard sneak on 4th-and-inches
picked up a first down early in the third quarter... The last time GS held an
opponent scoreless through three quarters came September 2006 when
the Eagles held Western Carolina scoreless through three in a 24-14 win
in Cullowhee, N.C... Chapple moved into fifth place on the GS career ‘Top
10’ list for passing yards, moving past Chaz Williams (2,561). His eighth
TD pass of the year ties him for eighth on the season list, and he moved
to third place with 1,774 passing yards... Valentine finished second on the
season ‘Top 10’ with 45 receptions. Adam Urbano was third with 45 and
Patrick Barker was fourth with 40... Mora finished with 16 field goals on the
season (16-of-22), one shy of the season record done on two occasions...
Charlie Edwards finished with 61 punts (fifth-most in GS season list) for a
39.6 average, good for 10th-best on the season ‘Top 10’... The last time GS
shutout an opponent was September 6, 2003 against Savannah State (a
