The Eagles improved to 6-6 (4-4 Sun Belt Conference) to become bowl eligible, while the Thundering Herd finish at 5-7 (3-5), just shy of a postseason game.

Field goals from 24 and 42 yards by Marshall's Lorcan Quinn sent the teams to the locker rooms in a one-possession game. The Eagles opened it up with French and Brown's second touchdown connection, a 12-yarder early in the third quarter. Tripp Bryant kicked a 24-yard field goal to make it 24-6. Marshall cut into the lead late, but it wasn't enough to finish off the comeback. The Thundering Herd were paced by Adrian Norton's 160 yards receiving on eight receptions that included a 41-yard touchdown catch with 2:19 left in the fourth quarter. Georgia Southern managed 528 yards of total offense and were 10-for-17 on third downs and 2-for-3 on fourth. The Eagles time of procession was 41:38 while Marshall's was just 18:22. The Eagles have been bowl eligible in each of coach Clay Helton's four seasons, but are 0-3 in bowl games. - Georgia Southern/AP College Football

  Although action doesn't officially start until Monday, among the reported quarterbacks in, or planning to be to enter the transfer portal as of Dec. 1 are Tulsa's Braylon Braxton and Davis Brin: Tulsa fired coach Phillip Montgomery, and both quarterbacks who started a game for the Golden Hurricane are moving on. Brin started nine games this season, with Braxton - a redshirt freshman - starting the other three when Brin was injured. Brin, who also started in 2021, has had problems with interceptions, throwing 24 picks in two seasons (to 35 TD passes); he has one season of eligibility remaining. Braxton has intriguing upside and some dual-threat capabilities. - NFL Draft Scout and online sources

  Kyle Vantrease threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Ezrah Archie for the game-winning score to lead Georgia Southern to a dramatic 51-48 double overtime win over Appalachian State on Saturday night. Despite entering with six wins, the Mountaineers needed the victory to become bowl eligible because two of their wins were against FCS-members Robert Morris and The Citadel, leaving them one win shy of five required wins against FBS teams. Appalachian State started the season with a 63-61 home loss to North Carolina before going to College Station, Texas and beating then No. 6 Texas A&M 17-14.

Georgia Southern (6-6, 3-5 Sun Belt) needed the win to become bowl eligible. Each team scored a touchdown in the first overtime, and the Mountaineers' Michael Hughes kicked a 32-yard field goal in Appalachian State's second overtime possession. After Vantrease threw incomplete on first down, he came back with a laser to Archie and Georgia Southern fans stormed the field. Hughes missed a 30-yard field goal as time expired in regulation with the game tied at 38. Vantrease threw for 385 yards and three touchdowns. Nate Noel ran for 171 yards on 12 carries with three touchdowns for the Mountaineers (6-6, 3-5). - Georgia Southern/AP College Football
