Georgia Southern's Jerick McKinnon stretches for the goal line on a 7-yard touchdown run in the second quarter against The Citadel at Paulson Stadium Saturday.
Jerick McKinnon still owns the ground at Georgia Southern, but Kevin Ellison just took over the air. Ellison, a redshirt freshman quarterback, took over the position, passed for 138 yards and rushed for 135 as the Eagles defeated The Citadel 28-21 Saturday on Military Appreciation Day at Paulson Stadium. Of 60 running plays, McKinnon and Ellison combined for 57 of them, and McKinnon added 198 yards and two touchdowns.
