Fourth Quarter
Nothing went right for the Georgia Southern University football team in the last ever Southern Conference meeting with the Wofford College Terriers as the team fell 30-20

The score was 14-10 late in the first half when WC put together a long drive with its hurry up offense. WC was deep in the red zone when GSU junior strong safety Deion Stanley intercepted a pass in the back of the end zone to keep the score 14-10.
