In a thrilling installment of the "Modern Day Hate" rivalry, Georgia Southern came out on top with a convincing 35-10 win over Georgia State, securing bragging rights in their annual showdown. The Eagles put on an all-around dominant performance, highlighted by strong play from quarterback JC French, running back Jalen White, and wide receiver Dalen Cobb, while their defense wreaked havoc with four interceptions.
French was efficient and composed under center, completing 16 of 21 passes for 244 yards and one touchdown. His connection with Cobb was particularly noteworthy, as the talented wideout hauled in six passes for a game-high 154 yards and a touchdown. Cobb's ability to make big plays when it mattered was a key factor in the Eagles' offensive success.
On the ground, Jalen White was a workhorse, carrying the ball 30 times for 184 yards, showcasing his power and vision. White's physical running style wore down Georgia State's defense, setting up several critical scoring drives and keeping the Panthers' offense on the sidelines.
While Georgia Southern's offense stole the show, it was the defense that truly made its mark. The Eagles' secondary was locked in all game, picking off Georgia State quarterbacks four times. Their ability to disrupt the Panthers' passing game and force turnovers helped stymie any potential comeback attempts, ensuring that Georgia Southern controlled the game from start to finish.
Georgia State's lone touchdown came late in the second quarter, but it was a far cry from being enough to mount a serious challenge. The Panthers' offense struggled to find consistency and couldn't overcome Georgia Southern's stingy defense.
With the win, Georgia Southern solidifies its place in the rivalry, making a statement that they are the team to beat in the "Modern Day Hate" series. The 35-10 victory serves as a reminder of the Eagles' dominance in the Sun Belt and their ability to come up big when it counts.
