51 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.

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 becoming the first team to win five I-AA titles. The Walter Payton Award winner scored on runs of 3, 22 and 1 yards.

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 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 halftime lead. GSU cut the margin to five, 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 72- yard 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 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.

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 Dec. 8, Allen E. Paulson Stadium, Statesboro, Ga.

58 ERK RUSSELL 60

59 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 (.788). After the Eagles moved to Division I-AA in 1984, he fashioned a (.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 record in 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 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 The couple is survived by their two sons, Rusty and Jay.

78 The Southern Conference, which began its 90th season of intercollegiate competition in 2010, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), developing women s championships (1984), to becoming the first conference to install the three-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/ CoSIDA Academic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The Conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first-class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference s historical documents. MEMBERSHIP HISTORY Southern Conference Founded 1921 Commissioner John Iamarino Associate Commisioner/Internal Affairs Sue Arakas Senior Associate Commissioner Geoff Cabe Associate Commissioner/Compliance Doug King Director of Marketing Mike Mitchell Director of Multimedia Services Jamie Severns Director for Media Relations Jason Yaman jyaman@socon.org Associate Director for Media Relations Jonathan Caskey jcaskey@socon.org On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee. Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. Sally Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference which began play in The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans five states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford. FOOTBALL The Southern Conference has also excelled as the premier Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) conference. Southern Conference member Appalachian State won the three consecutive FCS titles from , becoming the first team to do so. The league boasts more than 250 players who have garnered All-America recognition and numerous national player or coach of the year awards. The conference has had at least one team in the Top 10 of the final FCS poll for 25 consecutive years with at least two teams finishing in the Top 20 in every season since The conference has placed multiple representatives in the FCS Playoffs in 23- of-27 seasons, with 16 Championship Game appearances and eight national titles. The John Iamarino Jason Yaman Jonathan Caskey Southern Conference has had at least one team reach the semifinals in 10 of the last 12years and in 16 of the last 19 seasons. In 2007, Appalachian State became the first FCS team to defeat a nationally-ranked Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) team when the Mountaineers defeated No. 5-ranked Michigan, 34-32, on Sept. 1 before a sellout crowd at Michigan Stadium. Prior to the conference s reclassification in 1981, Southern Conference football teams appeared in a total of 36 bowl games, posting a record of From , league schools won five football national championships in a six year span. There are nearly 40 former Southern Conference players in the College Football Hall of Fame. One of the most recognizable of these names is former North Carolina running back Charlie Choo Choo Justice who helped guide North Carolina to three bowl appearances. He was a first team All-America selection and Heisman Trophy runner-up in 1948 and In 1949, Justice earned first team all-conference honors for the fourth consecutive season, becoming the first player in league history to achieve that feat. He was a member of the league s inaugural Hall of Fame Class in Another of the league s football products that made it to the College Football Hall of Fame is Sam Huff of West Virginia. Huff was a three-year starter on both the offensive and defensive lines for the Mountaineers. In 1955, Huff earned first team All-America honors on the field and was a first team Academic All-America for his work in the classroom. He played 12 seasons in the National Football League for the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins. A member of the conference s first Hall of Fame class, he was a five-time All-Pro defensive lineman and is also a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In recent years, the Southern Conference has continued to produce outstanding student-athletes. In 1999, Georgia Southern s Adrian Peterson captured the Walter Payton Award presented annually to the Football Championship Subdivision s most outstanding offensive player. Furman s Louis Ivory was awarded the honor in 2000, Georgia Southern s Jayson Foster was presented with the 2007 trophy and most recently, Appalachian State s Armanti Edwards claimed the award in Appalachian State s Dexter Coakley was a three-time all-conference selection and consensus All-America in 1994, 95 and 96 before going on to stardom with the Dallas Cowboys. Coakley won a pair of Buck Buchanan Awards, given to Football Championship Subdivision s top defensive player each year. Terrell Owens went from catching passes at Chattanooga to a stellar NFL career. Western Carolina s David Patten and Appalachian State s Matt Stevens were both members of the New England Patriots Super Bowl Champion team in 2002 and Patten also earned Super Bowl rings with the Patriots in 2004 and 05.

81 Georgia Southern 29 Albany (N.Y.) 26 September 5, 2009 STATESBORO, Ga. - Sophomore Adrian Mora kicked a career-long 44-yard field goal to cap Georgia Southern s 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 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 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 game at the half. In the first half, Albany rolled up 187 yards of total offense compared to the Eagles 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 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 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. ALBANY (N.Y.)

82 #21 South Dakota State 44 Georgia Southern 6 September 12, 2009 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 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 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 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.

83 Georgia Southern 27 Western Carolina 3 September 19, 2009 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 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 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.

84 #13 Elon 28 Georgia Southern 14 September 26, 2009 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 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 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 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 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 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.

85 Georgia Southern 26 Wofford 21 October 3, 2009 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

86 North Carolina 42 Georgia Southern 12 October 10, 2009 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 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 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.

87 Georgia Southern 30 Chattanooga 20 October 17, 2009 STATESBORO, Ga. - Sophomore running back Adam Urbano rushed for a careerhigh 153 yards and two touchdowns leading Georgia Southern to a 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 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 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 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 , the third straight week holding an opponent to under 320 yards, including 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.

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 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). 8

88 #8 Appalachian State 52 Georgia Southern 16 October 24, 2009 BOONE, N.C. - Appalachian State got off to an early lead and never looked back as Georgia Southern suffered a 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 (5-3, 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 53- yard touchdown score. Early in the second quarter Devon Moore scored from four yards out making it 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 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 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 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 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 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.

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. 9

89 Samford 31 Georgia Southern 10 November 7, 2009 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Georgia Southern could not find an answer for Samford in the second half, getting held scoreless in a 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 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.

90 Furman 30 Georgia Southern 22 November 14, 2009 STATESBORO, Ga. - Georgia Southern made a fourth quarter run at Furman but ran out of time, losing 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 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 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.

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 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 Pasco finished 12 yards shy of the GS single-game record for returns, set by Andrew Weathers at Furman in 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 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. 11

91 Georgia Southern 13 The Citadel 6 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 37- yard 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 GS out-gained The Citadel 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.
