Eagle Nation,

I hope this note finds you and your family well!

Last weekend was special. I can't tell you how proud I am of our football student-athletes, coaches, and staff! What an incredible win it was for the Eagles! Kyle Vantrease's 22-yard touchdown pass with 1:10 remaining to Derwin Burgess Jr. put Georgia Southern ahead 45-38, and Anthony Wilson sealed the win with an interception on James Madison's final drive.

Saturday's win over No. 25 JMU was the second time the Eagles beat a ranked team in Paulson Stadium.
