Eagles Impressive in First Preseason Scrimmage
STATESBORO - Highlighted by four rushing touchdowns from the offense, the Georgia Southern football team completed its first scrimmage of the 2019 fall camp Saturday morning at Allen E. Paulson Stadium in an 80-play live practice, playing out a variety of game-type situations.
The Eagles went through 11 phases of the scrimmage that included live offense and defense, as well as a more relaxed simulation of special teams ahead of their Aug. 31 opener at LSU.
Quarterback Shai Werts was a heavy point of interest after having his misdemeanor cocaine possession charge dropped by Saluda County, South Carolina Thursday. The junior from Clinton, South Carolina, says he is just happy to move forward.
