The Statesboro Blue Devils will get their season started in style this evening as they match up with Burke County in an 8 p.m. kickoff to round out the third annual Erk Russell Classic at Georgia Southern's Paulson Stadium. The setting of the newly-renovated 24,000-seat stadium seems fitting as the Devils and Bears have turned in games befitting huge crowds in each of the last two seasons. Last season, Statesboro outlasted Burke County and dual-threat quarterback Donquell Green — now with Marshall University — in a 21-7 victory.
