Fields and Freeman leave the Georgia Southern program in a winning place

About 20 minutes after Georgia Southern had pulled off quite possibly the biggest upset in program history, an exhausted Wesley Fields sat in the seats in the press room.

The senior running back had just defeated Appalachian State for the first time in his storied career. Under movie-like playing conditions, a team that mustered up just two wins a year before took down an AP ranked team for the first time in program history.

Fields rushed for 99 yards and two touchdowns in his final outing against the Mountaineers and was gleaming when he took a seat for the press.
