Despite a pair of offensive touchdowns and a pair of field goals by Adrian Mora (45 yards) and Billy Greer (47), the defense looked to be in charge Saturday morning as the Georgia Southern Eagles scrimmaged at Paulson Stadium. Sophomore defensive linemen Brent Russell said the atmosphere at th stadium helped get the defense excited for the scrimmage. “It’s always different, riding the yellow busses out here and seeing the flags flying,” he said.
