The 'Brotherhood' legacy

Georgia Southern's Jerick McKinnon (right) and Dominique Swope share a moment during a quarterfinal FCS playoff game against Old Dominion in Norfolk, Va., in this Dec. 8, 2012, file photo. The Eagles won 49-35. They didn't know it at the time, but it was the last playoff win in program history for the Eagles. The program finished the FCS era with the most national titles in the nation (6) and an overall record of 45-13 in the playoffs.
The legacy left behind by Georgia Southern’s seniors seems to be obvious. They came in during a 5-6 season in 2009 that marked a four-year absence from the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs and an overall program record of 21-23 during the span. Since then, they’ve helped lead the program to an overall record of 35-16, including a 7-3 record in the playoffs and three-straight trips to the semifinals.
