Georgia Southern let a victory slip from its grasp when it allowed Arkansas State to convert a fourth and 16 on its final drive in a 27-26 loss to the Red Wolves. Kevin Ellison was 14-of-22 for 203 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions. Ellison has completed 65 percent of his passes this season, however, the Eagles remain a run-oriented team that averages 286.6 rushing yards per game. Georgia Tech, of course, has been a run-first team since coach Paul Johnson installed the option offense. The Yellow Jackets have fallen on hard times recently and are #26 in the nation in rushing yards compared to sixth for Georgia Southern. Georgia Tech was 3-9 last season and has lost its last three games this year, including last week's 37-34 loss at Pittsburgh. The Eagles have covered the spread four of its last five after a loss and Georgia Tech is just 2-8 ATS when following a loss. Georgia Southern has gone UNDER four of its five games this season and five of its last seven road games dating to last season. These teams have combined to allow 42.7 points points per game, which is about five points below the posted total. Play Georgia Southern and the UNDER.
