Notebook: Banks bringing the old school to the fullback position
092813 GSU FOOTBALL WEB
Georgia Southern running back William Banks, center, loses his helmet while bulling his way through UTC defenders on a three-yard run to the four-yard-line late in the fourth quarter at Paulson Stadium Saturday.
With running back Dominique Swope out for the season with a shoulder injury and likely taking a red shirt, the Georgia Southern Eagles needed somebody to fill his shoes. They got an old school answer in William Banks, a senior who seems to come up big every time he’s thrust into the starting role. Banks rushed for 86 yards on 18 carries on Saturday as GSU (3-1, 1-1 Southern Conference) held off Chattanooga 23-21.
