STATESBORO - Offense abounded Saturday at Georgia Southern's annual Blue vs. White Spring Game, presented by Morris Bank and Southern Exchange as the White Squad (offense) amassed 51 points and nearly 700 yards of offense to the Blue Squad's (defense) 28 points thanks to several big stops.

In front of a crowd of over 4,000 fans, the offense scored on the first three drives, first on a 1-yard run from Jalen White, then a 32-yard catch-and-run play by Darius Lewis from Connor Cigelske and then White scored on an 8-yard run.

In the second quarter, Alex Raynor hit a 27-yard field goal, Sam Kenerson caught a 14-yard pass from Kyle Vantrease and Terron Dixon II scored on a 1-yard run.

With a running clock in the second half, Gerald Green scored on a 4-yard run and Matthew Daniel capped off the scoring with a 7-yard pass from Zak Rozsman.

The offense racked up 677 yards of offense (409 pass, 268 rush). Vantrease threw for 217 yards and a score while Cigelske threw for 94 yards and a touchdown. Lewis led the way with four catches for 70 and a score and Jeremy Singleton caught six passes for 48 yards. Derwin Burgess Jr. had three catches for 80 yards. On the ground, Gerald Green carried the ball nine times for 108 yards and a score to lead the way.

Defensively, Jeffrey Smyth led the defense with nine tackles and Chandler Dial-Watson had six. Tyler Bride posted six tackles, including two for loss, and had two pass break-ups. Amaru Herring had 1.5 sacks. The defense scored 16 points for eight stops with no points allowed, nine points for three three-and-outs and three points for three sacks.

The team will now focus on summer workouts before taking the field officially again in August for preseason camp. The Eagles will open the 2022 season on Sept. 3 at home against Morgan State.
