GSU's J-Mac attack
092813 GSU FOOTBALL 04 WEB
Georgia Southern quarterback Jerick McKinnon takes off up field against the Chattanooga defense during a second quarter run at Paulson Stadium in this Saturday, Sept. 28, file photo. McKinnon rushed for 172 yards on 25 carries.
Jerick McKinnon is not the best player to ever play football at Georgia Southern, but he very well may be the most versatile. McKinnon will more than likely be lined up at the B-back position when the Eagles (4-2, 2-2) return to action at 3:30 p.m., on Saturday when they face Appalachian State (1-6, 0-4) in Boone, N.C. The game will be televised on ESPN3. Tracy Ham and Adrian Peterson remain the icons of Georgia Southern — they are the only players to have their number retired — but they were never asked to play other positions like McKinnon has, something he has done willingly.
