The game marked the first time in history that JMU joined prestigious teams like Georgia, Indiana, Notre Dame, and USC as bowl eligible squads for 2026.\n\nOn their final drive, Georgia Southern narrowly missed tying the game with a 52-yard field goal attempt. JMU took control after a 10-6 halftime deficit. Coleman connected with Jeremiah Harrison on a 2-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter, sparking a 75-yard drive that led to a 20-10 lead.\n\nJC Evans then added a 57-yard touchdown to Cole Keller, extending JMU's lead to 20-10. Keller was instrumental with 108 receiving yards on four catches, while George Pettaway rushed for 151 yards on 21 carries. Georgia Southern quarterback Max Johnson finished with 343 passing yards, three touchdowns, and an interception.",
