Georgia Southern came out determined Thursday night in Boone, NC. In a rivalry that has been dominated by the Mountaineers for the past two years, the Eagles held their own in the first half. Unfortunately the game of football is 60 minutes and the Eagles fell to their rival in the mountains 27-6 and 0-9 on the season.
Despite scoring first for the first time since last season, the Georgia Southern offense slowed down and headed to the locker room with a mere 107 yards. App State started with a 3 and out, but was able to turn it around behind quarterback Taylor Lamb’s 80 rushing yards including a 44 yard carry to set up a 53 yard Chandler Staton field goal to end the half.
