Defense powers Georgia Southern to 20-3 win over FAU

It certainly was not pretty, but the defense of Georgia Southern made enough plays and forced Florida Atlantic to turn the ball over four times in a 20-3 victory on Saturday.

Two interceptions by Owls quarterback Javion Posey were backbreaking in FAU’s loss, as GS was more than happy to keep its opponent out of the painted area for the entirety of the contest.

Georgia Southern won the yardage battle by a 339-322 margin, but for the most part was more than happy to ride its lights out defensive performance to a win that helped snap a two-game losing skid for the Eagles.
