ATLANTA - A dominating offensive performance led the Georgia Southern football squad to a big 38-21 victory over in-state rival Georgia State Saturday afternoon at Center Parc Stadium in the inaugural Georgia Grown Bowl.

The Eagle offense piled up 261 yards and four touchdowns on the ground and racked up 498 yards of total offense while the defense recorded three interceptions to spark the win, the second straight over the Panthers.

After the two teams traded punts to start the game, the Eagles (3-2, 1-0) drove the field's length on an 11-play drive that culminated with JC French connecting with Josh Dallas on a 1-yard touchdown pass.
