Big plays lead Georgia Southern to its first conference win of the season over Arkansas State, 28-21

With 30 seconds left to go in regulation, both Georgia Southern and Arkansas State had no idea who would walk out of Allen E. Paulson Stadium with a perfect Sun Belt record.

Then Wesley Kennedy III happened to the tune of a 47 yard rushing touchdown on a reverse option pitch, icing the game for the Eagles and handing the Red Wolves the 28-21 loss.

As was expected, ASU quarterback Justice Hansen was great, but I personally was more surprised that the Red Wolves neglected to take more deep shots down the field in the passing game.
