NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — Turner Helton threw a touchdown pass and Tripp Bryant kicked three field goals to guide Georgia Southern to a 23-15 victory over Old Dominion on Thursday night.
Helton completed 23 of 30 passes for 205 yards for Georgia Southern (3-4, 2-1 Sun Belt Conference). Terrance Gibbs had a touchdown run and a touchdown catch.
Old Dominion (2-5, 1-3) grabbed a 7-0 lead when Quinn Henicle connected with tight end Leon Haughton Jr. for a 20-yard touchdown at the end of an 11-play, 75-yard drive to start the game.
Gibbs had an 11-yard touchdown run as Georgia Southern answered with a 12-play, 75-yard drive on its first possession to tie it 7-all after one quarter.
Aaron Sears recovered a fumble by Devin Roche and the Eagles turned it into a 33-yard field goal by Bryant for a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter.
Bryant added a 43-yarder with 4:43 left and a 31-yarder in the final minute for a 16-7 advantage at halftime.
Helton tossed an 11-yard touchdown pass to Gibbs at the end of an 11-play drive and the Eagles led 23-7 with 4:29 left in the third quarter.
Backup Ryan Huff threw a short pass to TJ Johnson and he turned it into a 71-yard touchdown. The Monarchs added the two-point conversion to trail by eight with 10 minutes remaining but got no closer.
Henicle had 86 yards on 6-for-10 passing and Huff completed 9 of 14 for 115 yards for Old Dominion. The Monarchs managed only 65 yards on 32 rushes.
