The Eagles can attribute much of their success to RB Logan Wright, who punched in one rushing touchdown. Another playmaker for Georgia Southern was WR Khaleb Hood, who returned a punt 49 yards to the end zone in the second quarter.
Georgia Southern's defense was a presence as well, as it collected two interceptions and two fumbles. The picks came courtesy of CB Derrick Canteen and CB Justin Birdsong.
