The Eagles opened the game on offense with Ellison picking up a first down in a third and long situation on a pass to Williams. On the next third down Ellison hit B.J Johnson in the middle of the field to move the chains again. The drive would end with a 25=yard field goal from Younghoe Koo to put the Eagles up 3-0. The first Aggie drive would end in a three and out to set a great tone for Georgia Southern. After a huge 58-yard run from Ellison, a throw to the end zone would result in an interception for New Mexico State.
Eagles defeat the Aggies, 22-19
