STATESBORO - Beautiful Eagle Creek is as much a part of Georgia Southern's football history as the yellow school buses, traditional uniforms and Freedom. Members of the NCAA's digital team were recently in Statesboro to do a feature on the creek and have released their piece on NCAA.com. The group interviewed players Ironhead Gallon and Matt Breida, along with head coach Tyson Summers, long-time field specialist Roger Inman and former player Tim Durden.
When Georgia Southern resurrected the football program in 1981, traditions and spirit needed resurrection as well.
