Georgia Southern holds on to upend Coastal Carolina, 38-28

Georgia Southern picked off Coastal Carolina quarterback Grayson McCall four times en route to a 10-point win over the Chanticleers, 38-28.

While the Eagles defense was aggressive in this win, the offense was the story, as Davis Brin outdueled McCall to the tune of 322 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions for the Southern signal caller.

Jalen White returned from injury having missed last week’s contest and was eating up the Chants on the ground, tallying 77 yards on 11 carries, 7 yards per carry, and a score.

From a receiving perspective, Khaleb Hood made a number of impressive plays for the Eagles, including finding a soft spot in the zone from 12 yards out with 8 seconds remaining before halftime, which allowed GS to take a seven-point lead into the break, 21-14.
