1st & 10 at the NDSU 12. Crockett gets nothing on the rush. 2nd & 10 from the NDSU 12. Vraa can't handle the pass. Brent Russell is hurt for the Eagles. Looks to be an ankle injury.
Brent Russell down for GSU and helped off the field
GSU punts for the first time GSU has 114 yds running and 77 passing NDSU has 62 yds running and 15 passing
Huge stop by the Bison defense. Let's see if the NDSU offense can do anything on this drive.
1st & 10 from the GSU 38. McKinnon gets 5. 2nd & 5 from the GSU 43. Swope gets 3. 3rd & 2 from the GSU 46. Bison stop McKinnon for a loss. Chop block foul on GSU. NDSU takes the 15 yard mark-off. 3rd & 17 from the GSU 35. Youyoute in a qb. Showers with catch but is short of the first down. 4th & 4 from the GSU 44. The Eagles will punt and is downed at the NDSU 12.
1st & 10 at the GSU 27. Robinson gets 5 on the pitch play to the right. 2nd & 5 from the GSU 32. GSU with a false start. Crowd noise finally being a factor. 2nd & 10 from the GSU 27. Swope with the inside give for 9. 3rd & 1 from the GSU 36. McKinnon sneaks it up the middle for the first down.
Brent Russell with the sack for the Eagles was the key play to force the punt. The Bison defense has to prove why they ranked as the top unit in the nation here.
While GSU's defense is not quite as stout as Wofford's, whom the Bison beat last week 14-7, they have 2 3-and-outs vs. NDSU this game so far
NDSU is forced to punt after a penalty and a sack by the Eagles. Georgia Southern takes over at their own 27.
The rekick is returned by Williams to the NDSU 29.
that looked kind of funny with the offsetting kickoff penalties and both teams lined up to play where the ball was downed, AFTER the official said it would be a re-kick
Let's see if the Bison can do. The kickoff has fouls with a face mask and holding so we will rekick.
strong yards after the catch for Swopes on that 49 yd TD reception for GSU
That play totally fooled the Bison defense with Swope running right up the middle almost uncovered. McKinnon hit him in stride for the score.
1st & 10 at the GSU 47. McKinnon keeps for 3. 2nd & 7 from midfield. Swope gets nothing on the dive. 3rd & 7 from midfield. McKinnon hits Swope over the middle on a pass for a huge play and a touchdown of 50 yards. PAT is good. GSU 13 NDSU 7 with 12:17 left in the 2nd qtr.
1st & 10 from the GSU 35. Swoop gets 7. 2nd & 3 from the GSU 42. McKinnon keeps for the first down.
No, the KO was into the end zone. New rule this year for KO touchbacks to the 25.
The Bison defense need to key in on the quarterback keeper, I believe on defense. McKinnon is keeping it most of the time and think they need to force the pitch.
NDSU's kickoff almost went out of bounds
1st & 10 at the GSU 25. McKinnon keeps it for 4 on the ground. 2nd & 6 at the GSU 29. McKinnon keeps it again for 6 and a first down. That is the end of the 1st qtr and Georgia Southern will have it 1st & 10 at their own 35 when we begin the 2nd frame with a tie game at 6-6.
