Second chances are hard to come by, and Georgia Southern cornerback Carson Hill is on his way to getting one.Hill entered the 2009 season at the top of the defensive depth chart, but came in academically ineligible for what would have been his senior season.Fortunately, he hadn't used up his red-shirt, so he spent 2009 in the classroom and on the scout team, working hard to redeem himself and get back on the field for his final year. The thought of once again taking the field for the Eagles has kept him going through it all."Ever since I found out I couldn't play," said Hill, "that's all I've been thinking about - next season, next season, next season - that's been my motivation."Unable to take out his aggression on Saturdays in 2009, Hill directed it all on the offense when it practiced against the scout team during the week."I worked hard on the scout team. I was giving the offense a good look every time," he said.
