Game Recap

After a dominant win in their game last week, the South Alabama Jaguars were humbled on Thursday. They came up short against the Georgia Southern Eagles, falling 24-17.

Georgia Southern can attribute much of their success to RB Wesley Kennedy III, who punched in two rushing touchdowns.
