Following a tight first quarter that saw Georgia Southern and Georgia State tied at 7-7, the Eagles seized control and steamrolled a hapless Panthers defense to the tune of 352 total yards and a 38-10 win for Southern.
Running back J.D. King has to be the game’s most valuable player in this one, rushing for 107 yards on 16 carries (6.7 yards per carry) and three touchdowns to help anchor the Georgia Southern offense in the blowout win.
Eagles signal-caller Shai Werts was almost equally valuable, completing 70 percent of his passes for 73 yards, while also rushing for 55 yards and a touchdown in the 28-point victory.
