RALEIGH, N.C. — After Kevin Ellison fumbled on the 1-yard line in the fourth quarter Saturday against N.C. State — a play that resulted in a 99-yard touchdown drive and a momentum swing that led to a 24-23 win for the Wolfpack — Georgia Southern head coach Willie Fritz didn’t want to challenge the ruling.He knew it was a fumble, so he wasn’t about to challenge it.“No, I was trying to get a play off real quick,” Fritz said.There were a few miscues for the Eagles (0-1), playing in a game for the first time with Fritz and his staff.“It was a whole new operation out there today,” he said. “I told our guys, ‘We lost this as a team — coaches, players, managers, trainers, everybody. We have a lot of room for improvement.’ Certainly myself, there’s a lot of room for improvement.”
