Georgia Southern rides second half surge to 49-35 win over UAB

Georgia Southern struck back against a visiting UAB team on Saturday, outscoring the Blazers by a 21-13 margin in the second half alone, preserving a 14-point win over UAB to pick up the Eagles’ second win of the season.

GS quarterback Davis Brin turned in a second strong performance as the new signal caller for the Eagles, finishing with 318 yards and two passing touchdowns with one interception. Derwin Burgess and Khaleb Hood were happy to oblige a Blazers defense that is rebuilding from last season and didn’t put up much resistance, with the two wideouts combining for 145 yards and both of Brin’s touchdowns in the victory.
