Georgia Southern's football season continues. The fifth-seeded Eagles kept it going with a hard-fought, come-from-behind 49-35 win over fourth-seeded Old Dominion in Norfolk, Va. Georgia Southern, using its vaunted triple-option attack, used the legs of Dominique Swope (21 carries, 183 yards, 2 TDs) and Jerick McKinnon (30 carries, 174 yards, 4 TDs) to overcome a swift passing game by the Monarchs.
