In the long run

Georgia Southern junior quarterback Justin Tomlin, playing his first game this season, had a 76-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.

It was the longest run of Tomlin’s career and the longest for Georgia Southern since former Eagles quarterback Favion Upshaw — who is now the team’s running backs coach — went for 80 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles’ 58-27 victory over Bowling Green in the 2015 GoDaddy Bowl.

Tomlin’s run also was the longest play allowed by the Razorbacks this season. The previous long was Rice quarterback Wiley Green’s 41-yard touchdown pass to August Pitre in the opener.
