STATESBORO, Ga. – Georgia Southern's RJ Murray blocked a 42-yard field goal attempt by ULM's Craig Ford with 1:18 to play, and the Eagles hung on for a 23-21 Sun Belt Conference football victory over the Warhawks before a school-record crowd of 25,735 Saturday evening in Paulson Stadium.
The Eagles were flagged with pass interference on 3rd-and-13 to give ULM a fresh set of downs at the GS 21-yard line with under two minutes to go. The Eagle defense dug in, and Chris DeLaRosa sacked Garrett Smith on third down to push ULM back and set up the long field goal try.
