How it Happened
Charleston scored on their second play from scrimmage as Ean Hamric galloped down the field on a quarterback run down the sideline for 43 yards into the endzone for the early 7-0 lead. Following the Charleston defensive stop, Marquan Herron found his first score of the day through the air 16 yards out on a dime from Ean Hamric to extend the lead to two scores. The second quarter was where Chavon Wright found the endzone from three yards away capping off a 10-play 60-yard drive that brought Charleston's lead to 20-0. The Bobcats struck gold with Kevin Mitchell on a half-back draw up the gut from 38 yards away, cutting the lead to 20-7. The Golden Eagles would answer right back with a longball from Hamric to Herron once again; this time from 43 yards out, giving Charleston a 27-7 lead over the home team.

After a blocked punt by Jadus Davis deep in Bobcat territory, the Golden Eagles were able to cash in for another Wright rushing touchdown, extending the margin to 34-7. Charleston's last score of the first half would be Herron's hattrick as Hamric found him from a short distance in the promise land, giving Charleston a 41-7 lead heading back into the locker room.

Yves Bosmans grabbed his jumper cables and electrified the away fans on the second play of the second half as Hamric placed the ball beautifully into Bosmans' hands and the Texas native took care of the rest, running into the endzone to complete the 72-yard pass for the seventh Charleston touchdown of the day. Midway through the quarter, Zach Williams would punch into the endzone from four yards out for his second score of the season, giving Charleston a comfortable 55-7 lead. Justin McDuffie would also find a rushing score following Williams' blasting over the goal line, finishing off an 11-play drive for the 67-7 lead. The Golden Eagles rounded out their scoring after redshirt freshman quarterback Camden Reese found Luke Francis down the sideline as Francis put the afterburners on up the sideline finding the endzone on a 37-yard pitch and catch for the score.

Despite two touchdowns scored from the Bobcats late in the game, the Golden Eagles prevailed with their dominance on the road, taking the 69-21 victory for their eighth conference victory of the season.
