Eagles defense, Tyler Bass hunker down in gritty 15-13 win over Texas State

Georgia Southern narrowly edged Texas State 15-13, but improves to 5-1 and remains undefeated within the conference.

The Eagles relied on their defense throughout the duration of the game, but the biggest play, perhaps, took place on the first drive of the game.

After driving the ball all the way to the one-yard line, TSU faced a fourth and goal with inches to go. It was Chris Harris Jr, the sophomore inside linebacker, who busted through the line and stopped the Bobcats in their tracks, forcing a turnover on downs.

GS and TSU were tied at the end of the first quarter, with the teams trading punts, but Wesley Fields, the senior running back, scampered in for a five-yard score in the beginning moments of quarter number two.
