Georgia Southern rolls over New Mexico State 48-31 en route to their sixth win of the season, giving the Eagles a postseason for the first time since 2015.
GS trailed NMSU early after surrendering touchdowns on each of the first two Aggies drives, making it a 3-14 game, the biggest deficit the Eagles have faced all season minus the Clemson game.
It was a late touchdown in the first quarter by sophomore slot back Wesley Kennedy III that changed the momentum. GS would trail at the end of the first quarter, 10-14. The Eagles' offense was off and rolling after their first touchdown, scoring a TD on each of their next six possessions, allowing them to pull away from the Aggies.
