STATESBORO, Ga. ? Senior Jayson Foster (Canton/Cherokee County) and true-freshman Zeke Rozier (Cochran/Bleckley County) picked up Southern Conference weekly honors following their respective performance in the Coastal Carolina game.
Foster earned his second straight ?Offensive Player of the Week' award while Rozier received his first-ever ?Freshman of the Week' honor.
Following up on last week's 231 rushing yards against West Georgia, Foster again improved on his career-highs. The senior quarterback rushed for a personal-high 253 yards (on 28 carries) and scored a GS record six rushing touchdowns in the 42-34 win at Coastal.
Some of the Georgia Southern records Foster has now accounted for following the Coastal Carolina game include:
- just the second player in GS history to rush for 200 yards in consecutive games (Adrian Peterson in 1998), and the only person to do so at the start of a season.
- most rushing touchdowns in a game (tied SoCon record and was one away from the NCAA mark).
- most points in a game (36).
- record for most yards by two players on the same team in the same game (also a SoCon record when he and Lamar Lewis rushed for 459 combined yards).
- most rushing yards by a quarterback in a game.
- most touchdowns accounted for to start the year (10 in two games).
Rozier rushed for 48 yards on nine carries, an impressive 5.3 average per rush, and broke off a long run of 36 yards.
The Eagles, off to their first 2-0 start since 2001, open SoCon play this Saturday (Sept. 22) against Chattanooga. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. and the game will be televised live on Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast.
