Georgia Southern survives a scare from Louisiana-Monroe

Well that was closer than it should have been.

I guess I should start this recap with the positives: Georgia Southern defeated Louisiana-Monroe 23-21, is 3-0 this season, and 2-0 in conference play.

Chris DeLaRosa may have saved this Eagles’ win with a sack on 3rd and 4 to push back the Warhawks’ kicker, who would subsequently have his kick blocked to ice the eventual win for GS.

L.A. Ramsby (86 yards on 14 carries) and Wesley Fields (84 yards on 13 touches and a rushing touchdown) both played well, and helped lead a rushing attack that needed them to step up when it struggled.
