Late Score Lifts Arkansas State over Georgia Southern

JONESBORO, Ark. – Justice Hansen hit Omar Bayless with an 8-yard touchdown pass with nine seconds left, and J.D. Houston made the extra point to lift Arkansas State to a 27-26 Sun Belt Conference football victory over Georgia Southern Wednesday night in Centennial Bank Stadium.

Hansen threw the fade to the back of the end zone where Bayless snatched the ball at its highest point and came down, touching his left knee in bounds and his left hand out of bounds seemingly simultaneously. It was ruled a touchdown on the field and confirmed on video review.
