STATESBORO - Derwin Burgess Jr. had his usual highlight touchdown catch and the defense forced four turnovers as the Georgia Southern football team held its first full preseason scrimmage Saturday evening at Allen E. Paulson Stadium. While the action was going on, Fan Fest was held and following the scrimmage, the annual Little Eagles Clinic took place on the field.
Five quarterbacks took snaps, but it was newcomer Davis Brin who found Burgess Jr. for a 29-yard touchdown pass late in the scrimmage for the only touchdown. Michael Lantz and Walker Bradberry combined to make seven field goals for the only offensive scoring.
