Max Johnson throws 4 TD passes, adds 1 on the ground as Georgia Southern pounds Marshall 49-13
Georgia Southern secured a dominant 49-13 victory over Marshall in a thrilling matchup on Saturday night. Quarterback Max Johnson was the standout performer, connecting on four touchdown passes, with two of them going to Jeremiah Ware. Johnson also added to his team's lead with a rushing touchdown. His performance was instrumental in Georgia Southern's 21-7 halftime lead.

Marshall managed two touchdowns, one through a 45-yard run by Joshon Barbie and another 66-yard catch by Khalil Wilkins.
